From a museum perspective, I think there's a lot to learn from these venues' business models, approach to collecting and exhibiting work, and connection with their audiences. It's run by Jon Rubin, an artist and professor of social practice at Carnegie Mellon, and his students. Elsewhere Collaborative (Greensboro, NC).

Like other museums that have hosted Bodyworlds and its sequels, the exhibit has doubled overall museum attendance for 2007--and it's only been here for three months. Science centers that have never worried about lines are suddenly managing huge queues, putting up sold out signs for the first time. Consider the Creation Museum.
