Making Museum Tours Participatory: A Model from the Wing Luke Asian Museum

Museum 2.0

JUNE 24, 2010

I've long admired this museum for its all-encompassing commitment to community co-creation , and the visit was a kind of pilgrimage to their new site (opened in 2008). She did several things over the course of the tour to make it participatory, and she did so in a natural, delightful way. But participatory facilitation can be taught.

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

This year’s Academy Award winning film – Inside Job – is one of the most powerful descriptions of what went wrong leading up to the financial collapse of 2008. Good Pitch is an effort that brings documentary filmmakers together with a wide range of partners in distribution, financing and outreach for activism.

Museum 2.0

JANUARY 16, 2013

This past weekend, in conjunction with our exhibition about Ze Frank's current participatory project, A Show , we hosted " Ze Frank Weekend "--a quickie summer camp of workshops, activities, presentations, and lots of hugging. The activities had a really low barrier to entry. The museum itself was well-integrated into the event.

Blueprint Book Club Part 1: How Do You Create a Future-Thinking History Museum?

MAY 22, 2012

In 2008, when this group was assembled, they had political backing, financial support, and an energetic approach to their work. The early participatory projects are terrific. In contrast, the activities undertaken to promote and launch the museum are truly inspiring. The planning activities were just marketing.

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. In the collaborative model, visitors are invited to serve as active partners in the creation of an institutional project which is originated and ultimately controlled by the institution.

DECEMBER 6, 2009

This post was written by Jaime Kopke , the founder/director of the Denver Community Museum , a pop-up community-generated institution that ran from Oct 2008-April 2009. The DCM was a temporary, pop-up museum which ran from October 2008 - April 2009 in an unused storefront in downtown Denver. I was shocked.and very happy.

Museum Photo Policies Should Be as Open as Possible

Museum 2.0

AUGUST 20, 2009

To me, an open photo policy is a cornerstone of any institution that sees itself as a visitor-centered platform for participatory engagement. and yet many museum professionals look benevolently upon that activity as a positive meaning-making visitor experience. And I think the fourth and fifth are bizarre and ungenerous to visitors.

Games are already highly participatory, but over the last few years game designers have been giving players more control over the gameworld and experience.

Anna had been the founding Curator of Education at the National Building Museum, led the Rolling Rainforest project, and was a real innovator in developing in-depth participatory design experiences with community members (though I wouldn't have used those words at the time). I expected the museum blogosphere to explode in 2007 or 2008.

AUGUST 10, 2009

This can be an incredibly technical topic, as it focuses on the ways that platforms (online, exhibits, museums) can harness the individual activities of many visitors and create meaningful experiential outputs that connect people to each other. What "no-tech" visitor actions or interrelations reflect your participatory goals?

This spring, I was a member of the advisory board for the New Media Consortium's 2008 Horizon Report on emerging technologies in museums. The participatory "ask" is high--to create original content. After the conference, the wiki switched from being a participatory site to a useful record. But wikis are a very specific tool.
