Abstract
This study examines the changing conditions under which art museums are founded in the United States. Three different theoretical approaches are helpful. First, consistent with economists' analysis of the relation between economic cycles and cultural development, significant epoch effects are discovered. Second, changing economic and social conditions affect the development of museums, but they do so differently within each of the epochs. These results are consistent with the observations of cultural and social historians. Third, relative change in organizational density, a measure of museum legitimacy, plays an increasing role over time. In the last two decades under consideration, the findings suggest that legitimacy, which reflects broad public acceptance of museums, transmits the effects of most social and economic conditions. In the article, I discuss the general implications of these results for understanding the historical institutionalization of culture.
