The aim of project cycle management is to improve the management of projects by ensuring that all relevant issues and conditions are taken into account during design and implementation.

The Museum is located on the site of the Astoria Studio, one of the largest motion picture and television production facilities in the United States. Originally built as Paramount's East Coast production facility in 1920, the studio was taken over in 1942 by the U.S. Army and renamed the Signal Corps Photographic Center. Following the Army's departure in 1971, the site fell into disrepair.

Music for HOPE is a non-profit charity founded in 1994 by Michael Jones with the mission of Making the world a better place through Music. We currently have 2 active chapters operating in Las Vegas, NV and Charlottesville VA. We collect new or used musical instruments from the community, refurbish them as needed and distribute them to struggling school music programs or directly to youth who would otherwise not have access to instruments or music programs. We know that involvement with music from an early age positively impacts youth with lasting social, academic, and confidence boosting effects. Research consistently shows that playing music can significantly improve a child's learning, memory, and social abilities. Greater society also benefits from creating more music opportunities for at-risk youth.
