I asked Wendy Pollock and Kathleen McLean, authors of the new book The Convivial Museum , to share a guest post about the book. At first glance, our new book, The Convivial Museum , is about the most simple ideas. This image of opening night at the Oakland Museum of California, April 2010, is by photographer Daniel Kokin.

This week marks five years since the book The Participatory Museum was first released. Across the museum field, the questions about visitor participation have gone from "what?" Over the past four years, I''ve been running a small regional art and history museum in Santa Cruz, CA. and "why?" to "how?". Humans empower each other.

For years, I'd give talks about community participation in museums and cultural institutions, and I'd always get the inevitable question: "but what value does this really have when it comes to dollars and cents?" We're hearing on a daily basis that the museum has a new role in peoples' lives and in the identity of the county.
