The easier you can make it for me, the more likely I am to take my family to visit a zoo, museum, or aquarium, or attend a performance. For museums, science centers, aquariums and zoos, offer online purchase options so we can skip the line. Will it be fun for the whole family? Make it easy for me to stay informed.

Visitor (though, really my child) at the Maritime Museum, Greenwich, UK As I said, last week, I’ve been to a travelin’ girl for the last couple of years. So, instead, I am offering 3 posts this month about what I learned from visiting more than 300 museums. Last week, I talked about what I learned about museum workers.

You gravitated toward the museum, zoo, gallery, symphony, cultural management organization because of your roots. Maybe think about activities you could support that would offer parents a place for their kids to go and learn, like a movie series, art classes, or a small-scale concert.

What role does “promoting human happiness” play in the mission statements and actions of museums? That’s the question I’m pondering thanks to Jane McGonigal and the Center for the Future of Museums (CFM). Earlier today, the CFM offered a free webcast of Jane McGonigal’s talk on gaming, happiness, and museums.

Ian comments: Very few video games set out to tackle mundane applications akin to the home movie or the airplane safety video. Talking about educational games, he discusses the way that "educational" is always pitted against "fun," as if all games must have the primary objective of providing enjoyment. Or "enlightening?" Or "useful?"

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. Does anyone carve, knit, sew or create t-shirts… or fun food? You can even have fun engaging your supporters and board members when coming up with these designs. Design them free on Canva.

Museum professionals tend to think this is OK because they think of the contributory act as the important part of the participation. Imagine if Netflix encouraged people to rate movies but did not provide customized recommendations based on their ratings. It’s not simply because it’s fun to rate things. nothing happens.

There are so many more people who join social networks, who collect and aggregate favored content, and critique and rate books and movies. And yet many museums are fixated on creators.

All of these forms of live performance go over well over live streaming and can even be made more fun than their in-person counterparts. Consider things like ebooks, video or audio files, or even a private livestream session with a celebrity.

There's a reason murder mystery dinners are more fun when they're the real deal than when you take them out of a box. Similarly, orienteering on your own isn’t as fun as taking part in an adventure race. TV has certainly been successful spinning out stories in real-time, whereas books and movies offer a more on-demand experience.
