Museum 2.0

MARCH 4, 2015

This week marks five years since the book The Participatory Museum was first released. I''ve given talks and workshops about it all over the world. I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation. Over 20,000 copies have been sold around the world.

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. Her mission in her blog has been to rebrand the experience of going to a museum, chasing away the old ideas of a quiet temple of tweedy art appreciation by generating new ideas of what a museum could be.

I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. After a long day running around a science center, I would show up at the Worcester Art Museum in the evening and make $20 just to stand around and listen to a painting instructor talk about art. I got hooked all over again.

readers, 2010 was a big year for me. I published The Participatory Museum in March (with help from many of you!) and spent the rest of the year traveling to give workshops and presentations related to its content. Workshop with rural librarians in Pendleton, Oregon. Dear Museum 2.0 Everything about it. and at ArtPrize.
