One of the most popular posts on Museum 2.0 The fourth kind I talked about is the "personal voice blog," in which museum staff write honestly and openly about their institution and experiences.

If anyone out there is considering creating an industry catch-all site for museum-related content, I highly recommend Gamasutra as a model.

I spent last week working with staff at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) on ways to make this encyclopedic art museum more open to visitor participation across programs, exhibitions, and events. All artworks delivered to the museum during the submission period will be accepted and presented; no one is turned away.

I've become convinced that successful paths to participation in museums start with self-identification. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge their uniqueness and validate their ability to connect with the museum on their own terms. Who is the "me" in the museum experience? Not so at museums.

On Musematic , Holly Witchey has rigorously recorded her recent experience at WebWise, a " IMLS/RLG/OCLC/Getty sponsored conference" on Libraries and Museums in the Digital World that was held March 1-2. To museum ears, this is fairly blasphemous--the idea that people want to use our content, not our exhibits. content providers.

How is a museum like a radio station? Both are collections of discreet, loosely organized content pieces that are both familiar and new. Your overall enjoyment of the content experience is determined to a large extent by the balance of items you like and those you don’t, those you know and those that are new.

Every museum has a number for its operating cost per visitor. Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs.

Advertisements for the skull blanketed Amsterdam, and other museums even tried to get in on the buzz generated by its presentation. There was no interpretative content in the room, and you were not allowed to take pictures. It’s no coincidence that Hirst is known for art that aggressively courts and plays with hype.
