Elsewhere is at the top of my list of places I would most like to visit. In this post, George grapples with the challenges of balancing the care for a museum collection with that of contemporary artists-in-residence who are constantly reinterpreting it.

That something may be a place, an identity, an interest, a worldview. For example, in Santa Cruz there is a huge community of creative people who identify as artists in non-traditional media.

It's not the extent to which they are participatory. While most of my favorites are small (idiosyncrasy is easier to maintain without too many committees), some are quite large--places like the Exploratorium where a singular ethos infuses a massive facility. They are places that people point to with pride and say, "that's our place."

He noted that many institutions I talk about that successfully foster personal relationships with visitors are small places. The sense of intimacy that comes with the relationships you can form in a small place is hard to match in a large one. It required a certain kind of place and feeling that visitors manage (mostly) on their own.
