Our visitors often see museums as a genre, not unlike hospitals or libraries. We often use them to add in extra content we couldn’t get into the label or assess people’s learning. In this case, I find the most interesting ones to be made by artists. But, while adjacent, museums differ from formal classrooms in numerous ways.

I’m always amazed when my colleagues tell me that the biggest barrier they face to “opening up” the content at their museums is from registrars—the people who care for collection objects. The Library of Congress advises collection users to go through a risk assessment process for each image they seek to reproduce.

Podcasting is formally defined as the act of distributing syndicated audio content online via RSS to listeners who use software or a hardware device to receive updates. No reason to be afraid: the important part of this definition is that the audio content is syndicated. Keep the content fresh, but the format consistent.

Art museums are the least likely to empower their own staff to initiate participatory projects but the most likely to work with artists whose approach to participation might be quite extreme. In Denmark and Amsterdam, I experienced radical dialogue programs like Human Library , but also a strict formalism as to what happens in galleries.

Depending on your budget, you may be able to get a popular artist, but you can also reach out to local musicians.

We haven't yet solved the internet quandary, so most days, I bike to town to work from the library or cafes. As Elaine points out in her essay, there are butchers who sell phone cards, barbershops with de facto day care centers, and bookstores that resemble cafes more than libraries. This is the ultimate mixed-use space. And a cafe.
