Museum 2.0

NOVEMBER 2, 2011

We're seeking great folks for public programs, participatory exhibit design, online marketing, 3D design, and whatever else you might have to offer.

Last week, Jim Richardson and I hosted MuseumNext , a 24-hour workshop for museum professionals focused on bringing new, wild museum projects into the world. I gave an hour-long talk about participatory design practices ( video here ), and Jim gave a small tour of an exhibition he had organized nearby. Facilitator bits.

So far, most participatory museum design projects are heavily guided by the institution. MN150 will have formal summative evaulation, which is wonderful.

Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. I am glad this conversation is happening and that both museum professionals and local Santa Cruzans are engaged. To me, the backlash against participatory and community-centered experiences is not surprising.

I didn't grow up staring open-mouthed at natural history dioramas or wandering through art galleries. And while I'll visit museums out of professional (and occasionally personal) interest, I don't do it because of a deep emotional connection. There are many parallels between free-choice learning and participatory design.
