To successfully run your museum, you must manage your finances well.
You will need to monitor your income and expenses closely.
Ensure all the income from ticket sales, gift shop revenue, and donations covers all operational costs.
Prioritize essential upgrades and hire only enough employees to help you manage the museum.
Protect your valuable exhibits by placing security measures strategically to cover high-risk areas.
These measures will ensure that thieves are caught before they can escape with your exhibits.
In addition to protecting your valuable exhibits, security is essential for ensuring visitor safety.
Send staff to expeditions where they will gain more skills.
A well-organized museum will impact the guest traffic flow and the overall museum efficiency.
Poor exhibit placement can lead to congestion, unhappy visitors, and reduced revenue.
Place exhibits that attract higher interest near the entrance or central walkway to engage guests.
Group related exhibits together to create thematic sections.
Planning expeditions is important as they come with many risks.
Ensure that you send experts with the right skills for each mission.
New artifacts and exhibits will attract visitors, generate Buzz, and increase your museum’s reputation.
Expeditions will also unlock new locations on the map, so prioritize them early in the game.
Always have an expedition in progress.
All expeditions start from your museum’s helipad, which can only support one expedition at a time.
Therefore, proper and strategic planning is important.
The World Map at the helipad will help you select Points of Interest (POIs) for exploration.
Choose the right staff to send to expeditions depending on the requirements of each POI.
Ensure you have trained staff who have specialized skills like Survival or Archeology to go on expeditions.
