COVES Aggregate Report - FY25

Happiest of Septembers, COVES community! We are excited to bring you our fourth fiscal year aggregate report. This year's report includes data from 84 member institutions, including art, children's, natural history, and science museums. The data in this report were collected between July 2024 and June 2025 and include 41,381 surveys - WOW!

This year, we chose to focus on a handful of specific visitor groups (e.g., members and non-members) to take a closer look at how visitor identity shapes experience. As in 2024, we have also created separate aggregates for our Art and Science+ cohorts, highlighting similarities and differences between the two. Supplements forthcoming!

We hope that this report is informative and provides helpful insights for you and your institutions, whether you are a member of COVES or not. If you are attending ASTC 2025 this weekend in San Francisco, please be sure to stop by the COVES booth, booth 229, to pick up a beautiful, glossy printed copy of this report and say hi to the team!

Statistically yours,

COVES
