On October 20, a young woman named Kate will move into Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry and live there for a month. This post is not about the Month at the Museum concept or implementation. Instead, this post focuses on a fascinating aspect of Month at the Museum: the video applications. That will come later.

This is an amazing April Fool’s idea from the Frederic Remington Art Museum : Their annual April Fool’s Day Ball invites users to contribute at normal event-pricing tiers (attendance, attendance + pre-party, attendance + after-party), but then not show up. Offer to highlight the winners on your social channels. Art Show and Silent Auction.

Museums, like all professional fields, are spaces policed by unwritten norms and regulated by our credentialing systems. For example, many museums focus on issues like ticket prices or transportation as a way to remove access barriers. People might not want an educational experience. What are some other access barriers?

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. If you represent an educational or social justice charity, maybe giveaway specialty decks of cards featuring important people from history. This can include museums, archives, galleries, etc.

Pin your students science fair projects. Pin masterpieces from the budding artists in your arts classes. If you're a museum, zoo, or aquarium: 19. To pull this off well you'll want to print up some effective signage to orient people to what Pinterest is about and how the museum is using it. Just use your beard!".

If anyone out there is considering creating an industry catch-all site for museum-related content, I highly recommend Gamasutra as a model. Can museums afford to indulge in this kind of fantasy? It drives me nuts when I’m in a museum that has made a half-hearted attempt to thematically connected galleries or exhibits.

Studies of how arts participation affects student test scores.

Consider the recent research at the University of Arkansas about the value of school field trips to cultural institutions.
