Mission statements are a staple of museum institutional practice, and are intended as accessible texts that are used to guide internal action as well as communicate purpose to an external audience. This study analyzes mission statements from non-collecting contemporary art museums in the United States, and uses data from tax filings to determine whether or not mission statements adequately communicate both museum intent and practice. The museum is posited as a medium that communicates and participates in social, cultural, and political discourse, and must therefore contend with the reception and response of various interpretive communities that engage with museum texts. This study found that mission statements are not the most effective at communicating critical museum practice, but are still able to plainly communicate some basic purpose and intent on behalf of the institution. Ultimately, it would be productive for museums to utilize mission statements as a point of reflection for museum scholarship and practice moving forward.
