Museum 2.0

APRIL 8, 2010

I've been enjoying a few blissful weeks at home but am now hitting the road for a series of conferences and work trips, and I wanted to let you know where I'll be if you want to meet up or come to an event. Many of the talks are related to The Participatory Museum and I will have books for sale on all of these forays.

John Kenyon was also at the LASA Circuit Riders Conference in Birmingham with me earlier this month. The NTC Conference is a little more than two months away and I'm really looking forward to conversations with colleagues and meeting others face-to-face for the first time. Where do I find more information?

Consequences of Listening Two years ago at the ASTC conference, an exhibits director told a story about giving clipboards to all of their teen floor staff with a list of every exhibit in the museum. Last week, I stayed at a hotel with lousy hospitality in DC. And there’s a downside to closing our ears. The manager treated me terribly.

I am the director of a non-profit that promotes open museum practices, and we are in midst of launching a free service for arts organizations: a web site that permits any museum to create a participatory exhibit space and social network centered on the museum's collections.

I've written before about techniques for talking to strangers, looking at how buttons , buses , and dogs and can all be tools for participatory design. I used that instruction recently to kick off a meeting at a museum planning a participatory education space. These activities are not always grounds for participatory encounters.
