We decided to approach the label-writing for these boards in a participatory way. We can certainly write a decent label based on this activity. It was the activity that drew this person (and probably others) to the surfboards—not the objects themselves. But one post-it threw me for a loop.

Most of my work contracts involve a conversation that goes something like this: "We want to find ways to make our institution more participatory and lively." We want to cultivate a more diverse audience, especially younger people, and we want to do it authentically." Audience development is not an exercise in concentric circles.

We are increasing the number of interactive elements in the galleries, and we haven't found a clear way to say to people, "touch this but don't touch that." Focus on family audiences. As we make the museum more family-friendly in a number of ways (activities, casual spaces, interactive bits), we have a lot more kids in the galleries.

What's the value of this activity? But watch visitors move around a museum, and you'll quickly see the activity flare up around specific exhibits and not others. This museum was unusual in that the lobby area had a high concentration of pop art meant to appeal to a wide audience. To me, emulation is a kind of learning activity.

As I imagined a world without Nina Simon ’s Participatory Museum , I felt sad about all the visitors whose voices (and post-it note comments) weren’t honored. The idea of interactives in the galleries (alongside collections) are now not novel or very controversial. And, well, the whole exercise was depressing.

I wondered what would happen if that interaction was scaled up. We had documented the activity with pictures of the people with their cards, and it was abundantly clear after the dust cleared that the personality and energy of the recommendations were in the images, not the cards.

I think, as with all unusual activities that interfere with one’s routine, that was a reasonable response.
