In reflecting on the sample, I’ve made some broad reflections on museum workers and visitors. Our visitors often see museums as a genre, not unlike hospitals or libraries. Lumin at Detroit Institute of Art Now on to the interactives…I’ve been thinking a great deal about the function of interactives in museums.

We're launching it with partners at community-based libraries, parks, museums, and cultural centers around the world. As our staff and board became reflective OF our community, more people felt represented. We're building tools, trainings, and hopefully, a movement for a more inclusive world. Our contexts are different.

Originally posted in April of 2011, just before I hung up my consulting hat for my current job at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. 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.

I visited a friend last weekend who works at a coffee shop in downtown Santa Cruz, right next to the Museum of Art and History. And on the walls, my friend explained, was art from the museum itself. Why doesn’t the whole Museum of Art and History look and feel like the coffee shop? There was funky music.

Our Story I came to the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History four years ago. As one visitor recently commented, "the MAH has become 'our' museum, a reflection of us and a place where we can appreciate art, share it with each other, learn and make new connections." At the time, we were fighting for survival.

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. It's common in many museums to offer cart-based activities that invite visitors (mostly families) to play a game, try an experiment, or make art.

I used the example of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, which has a mission statement that includes unusual words like “bold” and “fearless.” What new projects might allow you to better reflect those aspirations? Ask leaders to be accountable to the mission. There are several good resources on evaluating participation.

Museums are quality learning spaces, but so are libraries. Museum house things, but so do libraries. For many people museums are purveyors of and intercessors with history. — Art + Museum Transparency (@AMTransparency) September 21, 2019 Museum Transparency brought up the fact that museums are work places.

And there’s been also a lot of questions about that and applications about racial equity, and then the makeup of your staff and reflective of the people that you serve. there’s libraries and other nonprofit organizations where you can actually access the professional level of FDO. I’ve seen that quite a bit.
