Pollyanna was one of my godmother’s favorite movies. These were the people who call problems “opportunities.” So, people honest with problems is hard. It seemed a bit like a fable, this girl who looked for the good in everything. I hadn’t spent enough time with people to be think it was an unreachable fiction.

There are many folks who've written about the problems with "value" membership and have recommended that cultural institutions reorient toward offering "affinity" or "relationship" memberships. Unsurprisingly, museums are loathe to cut or alter membership programs that successfully serve visitors' needs and generate revenue.

In addition to being the co-founder of the Global Center for Cultural Entrepreneurship, he is the Executive Director of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation.

As cultural institutions, we are a “field” competing against “industries”—gaming, movie, TV, and amusement—that have the money to spend on weapons of mass audience engagement. As programmers of events and performances, collectors of things, and producers of content, our main business seems to be a battle for the attention of our audiences.

Why don't people come back to museums? Why do we go to the same restaurants again and again, but not the same movies? When I worked at the Spy Museum, many visitors expressed a lack of desire to return not because the experience was dissatisfying, but because they'd experienced the whole story. Consider, for example, narrative.

Ian comments: Very few video games set out to tackle mundane applications akin to the home movie or the airplane safety video. I was struck, reading these articles about games, by the idea that introducing games, or comics, into the museum experience does not necessarily imply dumbing down or funning up the experience.

A museum experience I’ll always remember: In 2002, I worked at the Boston Museum of Science with a program in which high school students from a nearby charter school spent half their school time at the museum. They took regular classes, museum-specific classes, and had internship-style museum jobs.

If anyone out there is considering creating an industry catch-all site for museum-related content, I highly recommend Gamasutra as a model. Can museums afford to indulge in this kind of fantasy? It drives me nuts when I’m in a museum that has made a half-hearted attempt to thematically connected galleries or exhibits.

The problem is that most print mail from nonprofits is boring. Ideas: Meetups for walking, hiking, stretching or yoga in the park, book clubs, book readings, discussion groups, support groups, social hours at local pubs and coffee shops, movies, museums visits, dog parks, etc.!

But what if you are in an educational setting, like a museum? This was a huge challenge in designing Operation Spy , a live action narrative immersion game at the Spy Museum. I do, however, have some tricks and observations that I’ve seen successfully applied to this problem. I don’t have the solution to these questions.

For instance, the San Francisco Museum of Art has 34,678 items in its collection. To share its entire collection with art lovers, the museum created the “Send Me” bot allows anyone to send a simple text message and receive a picture of a piece of art matching the idea, words, or phrase texted.

At any given time, do you know: how many visitors are in your museum? how many members are in your museum? Shockingly, for many museums, large and small, the answer to these questions is no. The store and the museum entrance are strangers. In Macy's or at the movie theater, I'm just a credit card.

I personally want to move away from the metaphor of making movies of the computer screen to more shoulder-to-shoulder instructional media and perhaps something that is more participatory or for lack of a better word, social.

It’s about thinking about science centers and the public understanding of science as a human problem. If there was a way to engage these deep emotions in the context of science museums, then there is an opportunity to expand our impact. This is our biggest problem right now.

These are grassroots organizations, and they were helping each other with the most intractable problems that face women everywhere: domestic violence, sex trafficking, disease, discrimination. In order to get a book published, I was told I had to have a museum exhibit. I thought I was going to do a picture book with maybe captions.
