MUSEUM BOOSTER ACADEMY is the education and training platform of MUSEUM BOOSTER

We design leadership programs specifically for the museum sector — practical, case-driven, and rooted in the realities of institutional work.

Our focus is not on abstract management theory, but on the everyday leadership skills and tools for people who shape museums from within: guiding teams, managing complexity, and translating strategy into action.
