Museum 2.0

MARCH 27, 2009

This week, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) opened a new temporary exhibition called The Psychedelic Experience , featuring rock posters from San Francisco in the heyday of Bill Graham and electric kool-aid. It’s a thrilling challenge to the traditional form of art museum exhibit design, and better yet, visitors like it.

The recent flurry of restrictions that has sent teens fleeing? I can just imagine the headline: CHILD MOLESTERS CALL ON ART, VICTIMS. How can going to an art museum be more like going to a convention for people who love art? Tags: participatory museum visitors. The irritating design? Or is it the stalkers?
