Museum 2.0

JANUARY 30, 2017

I started my museum career as an exhibit designer. But I reserve for Don Hughes that particular blend of admiration and fear that comes when encountering uncompromised brilliance. He is a genius designer out of central casting: an artist, mercurial, funny, emphatic, honest, unflinching, with a disarming weakness for babies.

If your page is expertly designed then you can get away with microcopy on the subtle side, like Google has on its search page. We particularly appreciate search bar suggestions, like how Spotify invites users to search not only a song title but an artist or a podcast too. It works, because there’s nothing else drawing your attention.

Then, when we put together teams, we again tried to break people up such that every team would have a blend of individuals across several axes. Many of the oldest campers were "counselors"--seasoned exhibit designers I''ve known and respected for a long time--and we didn''t have enough counselors for every team to have one.

Here are nine arts and culture-related nonprofit events that blend entertainment, education, and appreciation while creating strong connections in local communities—and raising some funds to boot. You can also let your designers set up booths to sell the fashions on display and turn the event into a mini-arts fair.

We''re more successful when we target particular communities or audiences and design experiences for them. We''ve seen surprising and powerful results--visitors from different backgrounds getting to know each other, homeless people and museum volunteers working together, artists from different worlds building new collaborative projects.

Storytelling isn’t just a creative endeavor reserved only for artists, designers, musicians, and writers. This means that your fundraisers’ campaign pages should be distinctive in the quality of their design. Studies show that better design & branding eventually leads to more donations.

At the adjacent table, my colleague Stacey Garcia was meeting with a local artist, Kyle Lane-McKinley, to talk about an upcoming project. I don't know what formed the bridge between the artists and the teens in this circumstance. On the third floor, they sat down in our creativity lounge and started making collages.

We experimented with many different forms of visitor participation throughout the building, trying to balance social and individual, text-based and artistic, cerebral and silly. Almost no one looks at the finished collages except as a design element. In this case, the tradeoff was in design. A DIY wedding! DIY Wedding Chapel.

Facilitated/Unfacilitated Blend When we started this course, I really pushed the students to think about ways to induce unfacilitated interactions among strangers. The bathroom wall was "anything goes" by design. This is a good lesson for museum talk-back design.

The World Beach Project is managed by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London with artist-in-residence Sue Lawty. And yet this reward, mixed with an intelligent project design, are enough to make this project attractive to people all over the world. The World Beach Project does not exist in the V&A Museum. It's not marketing hype.
