Museum 2.0

JULY 1, 2011

Yesterday, a lovely article came out in the local paper about what we're trying to do to become a thriving community hub. It wasn't that Simon was throwing out the housekeeping rules of the gorgeous but often imposing downtown museum building.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences.
