While scholarly research on green public procurement (GPP) keeps growing, until now it has paid little attention to museums that must make decisions about GPP implementation. This paper breaks new ground by exploring GPP implementation in the most visited European museums. The proposed conceptual framework allows a comparison and a mapping of museums’ GPP implementation levels while taking account of how these levels are related to the national GPP performance. Complementing this framework with the analysis of the up-to-date data from the Tender Electronic Daily database yields two central findings. First, museums that formalized their GPP policies in their strategic organizational documents exhibit higher levels of GPP implementation than other museums that have not done so. Second, the majority of the investigated museums follow national trends of GPP implementation, with examples of exceeding or falling below these trends being rare. The article is important for policy makers and practitioners as it highlights the importance of the factor of institutionalization of green procurement in individual organizations, which is crucial for successful implementation of green procurement.

尽管关于绿色公共采购（GPP）的学术研究不断增长，但迄今为止，很少关注必须就 GPP 实施做出决策的博物馆。本文通过探索 GPP 在访问量最大的欧洲博物馆中的实施开辟了新天地。拟议的概念框架允许比较和绘制博物馆的 GPP 实施水平，同时考虑这些水平与国家 GPP 绩效的关系。通过对 Tender Electronic Daily 数据库的最新数据的分析来补充该框架，得出了两个核心发现。首先，在战略组织文件中正式制定 GPP 政策的博物馆比其他未这样做的博物馆表现出更高的 GPP 实施水平。其次，大多数被调查的博物馆都遵循 GPP 实施的国家趋势，超过或低于这些趋势的例子很少。该文章对政策制定者和从业者很重要，因为它强调了各个组织中绿色采购制度化因素的重要性，这对于成功实施绿色采购至关重要。
