LARRY’S LIST is proud to announce the release of the second edition of the PRIVATE ART MUSEUM REPORT. The report provides a systematic exploration of the global landscape of privately founded contemporary art museums with analyses by continent, country, and city. It gives an overview of museums that have opened over the past years and provides an understanding of their legal setup and operations. A deep-dive chapter explores the social media activities of the museums.
The report is based on a joint research project with the Department of Sociology of the University of Amsterdam.
