Negotiating a Lease with Local Government Support
Hello Children's Museum People,
We are talking to our city officails about subsudizing space or giving us unused spaced to open our locaion in Portland. I know many museums get their space viturally for free from their local government, but would love to point to a definitivie list of museums who receive this type of support.
