Museum 2.0

MAY 9, 2012

Last week, I was in Minneapolis for the American Association of Museums annual meeting. Our curator writes labels about licking the art. Merilee Mostov and the Columbus Museum of Art. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. I found this idea really powerful.

Many of the talks are related to The Participatory Museum and I will have books for sale on all of these forays. I'm giving a free talk at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on the evening of the 22nd, and then a free workshop on the 23rd at the National Postal Museum on designing better mechanisms for visitor feedback and response.

Dave runs a yearly software conference called Flashbelt in Minneapolis. Sadly, it was the second story that was about a museum.

I'm heading this weekend to the American Association of Museums conference in Minneapolis. Participatory history programming. Over the past year, we've found it fairly easy to invent and sustain participatory art and craft projects. (No relation to AAM. What role will exhibitions play in this kind of institution?
