This study used a mixed approach, with 300 stakeholders from five rural art museums in southern Zhejiang. The results show that elements of the strategic management model for rural art museums in southern Zhejiang Province can be determined. From the second objective, it is possible to formulate and implement a strategic management model in accordance with empirical data.
