brand development architecture rationale
A monolithic brand architecture acts as a trust
mark

• Approach is proven internationally e.g.
  Smithsonian, Tate.
• Will drive a sense of cohesion amongst the
  museums part of one family
• Economies of scale budget realities make
  marketing one brand a lot more achievable.
• Individual museum identities still protected by
  unique programming collection
