What do Millennials want from a museum experience? Museum development officers and marketing professionals are all wondering if members of the Millennial generation (born after 1979) will support museums like our parents did.

To honor Pickens’ lifetime giving to OSU of $650 million, a museum focused on his legacy is being constructed inside the school’s Boone Pickens football stadium. However, today’s alumni donors’ underlying motivations for giving back share a commonality: the bonds and affection created by their college experience that last a lifetime.

A year ago, I wrote a post speculating about whether events (institutionally-produced programs) might be a primary driver for people to attend museums, with exhibitions being secondary. Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.

But what about arts organizations or museums? For example, let’s say you’re a local children’s theater company. You are in an affluent neighborhood, so typically the children are not at risk. What about schools or conservation causes? It’s true – conflict is less recognizable and lower stakes for certain causes.
