Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 3, 2019

I was thinking I’d do a few alternative histories of museums for the first post of the last month of the decade.

When we limit barriers of entry, we can better reach those who are not ready to attend in-person events again, unlock access to a new generation of givers, and gain the ability to reach all donors exactly where they’re at.

I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.
