Happy New Year! Two Free Books! And Watermelon!

Museum 2.0

I published The Participatory Museum in March (with help from many of you!) Thank you so much for hosting me, picking me up at airports, taking me to karaoke bars, showing me secret parts of your museums, helping me find vegetarian food, and sharing your ideas, dreams, and schemes for the future. Dear Museum 2.0 Everything about it.
