Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 9, 2019

Written by Seema Rao Last month, I shared some of my thoughts about the best of museums over the last decades. (I I'll mention now, Kate Livingston, listed Museum Twitter as one of the best things, and I definitely thought this as I read people's responses.

What’s harder: coming up with great experimental ideas or jumping through institutional hoops to make the experiments happen?
