The Amsterdam based members of OAM are mainly museums receiving
government subsidies and associated non-profit institutions. The
OAM is a body with limited legal authority. It has an appointed
chair and vice chairperson. Consultations between institutions are
divided into two committees: large museums and small museums (the
terms 'small' and 'large' are not intended as a value judgement).
An arrangement has been chosen by which groups of institutions
discuss proposals and collaborate in cooperation. The committees
are formed according to the criteria of the Netherlands Museum
Association, whereby each of the committees consists of (roughly)
the same number of participants. Meetings are held four times a
year; three times large and small OAM museums separately, and once
together.
The secretariat of the association is Amsterdams
Uitburo (AUB).
