Museum 2.0

APRIL 20, 2009

I’d never attended before and was impressed by many very smart, international people doing radical projects to make museum collections and experiences accessible and participatory online. Are participatory activities happening on the web because that is the best place for them? You join the Brooklyn Museum’s posse. This worries me.

Participatory. Are those words you usually associate with your government? Participatory. San Francisco and Washington DC are collaborating around API accessiblity for their 311 phone lines. If the data can contribute to the conversation, share it. Flickr Photo: h.koppdelaney Transparent. Collaborative.

But last year, over Thanksgiving, I sat next to a man who was working on his laptop (not an activity that invites conversation), creating a presentation on elementary education and technology. Bob argues that giving kids laptops enables more participatory, engaged learning. Consider other family-oriented products: toys, media, schools.

I applied to work for This American Life (rejected) and in the meantime fell in love with someone who lived in Washington D.C. Eventually, they had an opening for "Exhibits and Programs Associate"--a low-level jack of all trades position supporting the department. Find a starting point for conversation.

Flash back six months and I'm with friends at a hip bar in Washington DC, losing miserably at a weekly trivia night. But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content. It's reasonable to start a side conversation. But why not reap the benefits of having a nightlife associated with the museum?
