But in most cases, that fear hasn't born out; many older visitors enjoy the vibrancy of social events and are more than willing to share stories with other visitors in the context of a museum experience as long as it isn't overly technology mediated.

How many times have you heard this phrase in the context of cultural institutions? It''s presumptuous to suggest that we know what people "need" in a cultural context. In my experience, the "needs" of audiences often look suspiciously like the "wants" of the people speaking. Cultural experiences should be a pleasure.

When I look back at some recent projects that I''m most excited about (like this teen program ), I realize that I had very little to do with their conception or execution.

In my experience, innovation is about flexibility, capacity, and collaborative relationships. It seems like when that happens, you'd have to ask yourself: should we change the system based on this experience, or did this push us beyond our ability?

Cultural icons serve many important purposes, but these, I have reluctantly begun to realize, may be quite different from, and perhaps mutually exclusive with, museums focused on community well-being.

The article suggests that museums have previously served one community--"traditional" museum patrons who are white and elderly--and must now be relevant to several other communities that are diverse in cultural, educational, and socio-economic backgrounds.
