Museum 2.0

MARCH 21, 2012

Art, however, does not come to museums pre-hardened. At the museum of art and history where I work, we are grappling with the question of how to help people enjoy themselves while keeping the art and artifacts safe. The level of touching, especially of art, has increased. This was amazing. How will we deal with this?

I spent some time playing with this question last week at the Milwaukee Art Museum, a large general museum that is moving toward redesign of the permanent galleries. Tags: design participatory museum usercontent. How do you find your way around a multi-faceted museum? Do you interrogate the map? Create a plan for yourself?

I published The Participatory Museum in March (with help from many of you!) A quick top five list of amazing experiences in no particular order: ArtPrize , the democratic art festival in Grand Rapids that blew my mind Taiwan. Dear Museum 2.0 readers, 2010 was a big year for me. Everything about it. Especially the stinky tofu.
