“The Museum of Ventura County, which temporarily shut its doors last year to take inventory, revamp some things and figure out its future, has not been able to raise enough money to get back on its feet. Unless the institution can get money from a new source, officials said, it will close by the end of the month. To Elena Brokaw, who since last summer has been the museum’s interim executive director, the answer lies in creating a public-private partnership.”
