The Washington Post covered the MAH's transformation as part of an article about museums engaging new audiences. The whole second half of the article was dedicated to our work: Smaller museums can be especially scrappy in finding ways to connect with the community. It’s something that any museum, of any size, can work toward.

I'd love to see a museum offer temporary tattoos instead of stickers at entry. I spent about 5 hours in a busy tattoo studio (interesting how they are rebranding away from "parlor"), both times on Sundays, and my highly uninformed impression is that most of the people who walked in the door are not museum-goers. People ask questions.

If you think about what a museum curator does, it is very similar. The average user on Facebook shares/creates 90 pieces of content a month. With over 800 million global users on Facebook , if you do the math – that’s a lot of information! We can’t blame it all on the amount of information.

If you think about what a museum curator does, it is very similar. The museum curator does research, is an expert in the particular artistic style, selects the best examples, puts them together in an exhibit, provides important context with annotation on the labels, and so on. What is content curation exactly?

Pop quiz: How much does it cost to go a museum? And I don’t mean cost in a global bottom line sense—I mean how much does it cost to walk up to the admissions desk and buy a ticket? Museums can range from free to about $30 for admission. So why can’t museums do it? But imagine if movie theaters operated like museums.

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out.
