I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). Yes and no.

But the Visitor Studies Association is taking some chances next month with their annual conference , and it’s got me experiencing a new emotion around convention halls: excitement.

I thought it was a perfect chance to put one of the ideas in Nina Simon’s book The Participatory Museum to the test.

I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. That's why I required my museum studies students to carefully document their Advice exhibition --so that the learning from that unusual project wouldn't be lost and could be applied in other places.
