Museum 2.0

JUNE 15, 2016

Here's one of my favorite stories about the London Science Museum and their work to make their science shows relevant to families with deaf or hearing-impaired family members. Think of the Subjects to Change teen program, or the free lunches at the Cleveland Public Library. This chapter appears midway through the book.

Spring has arrived in Cleveland. In the midst of that, for those in the museum field, every aspect of our work has been called into question, at the mercy of the same financial forces of so many other industries. Bright sun, chirping robins, terrible thunderstorms are regular occurrences all of a sudden. All of society is in change.

The Cleveland Museum created a society with annual events to illustrate the impact of their work. The United Way of New York City significantly increased mentions of planned giving and how easy it is to make a plan in their communications, helping them secure nearly half a million dollars. Use it to deepen a relationship.

The American Alliance of Museums conference was last week, and I had the opportunity to meet and introduce the panel of a jeopardy style session, What is Prospect Research, Alex? You make plans to get coffee the following week, and just like that, you’re on your way to securing a new major donor. Prospect research.

A coupon goes up for half-price museum admission or spa treatments, and users have one day to buy. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History sold 1,318 half-price memberships last week. But for museums, which mostly have extra space to fill (and a low per-customer operating cost), this isn't a big issue.

While this post is not about museums, it tells the story of how a performance group developed participatory elements as an integral part of their show. For most rock bands, the signature moment of audience participation is when the singer shouts “HELLO, CLEVELAND!” Local kids make good!

Before the session, I spent some time reviewing Museum Facebook Pages – luckily the MIDEA project has them organized into this handy list. I had hoped to find a good example of a museum or an arts organization with a custom landing tab. Aliza Sherman's "Birth of A Superfan" as it applies to Facebook and Museums.
