Yet our posts contain similar phrases such as “21st century museums,” “changing museum paradigms,” “inclusiveness,” “co-curation,” “participatory” and “the museum as forum.” Where do museums fit in?

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings.

As I imagined a world without Nina Simon ’s Participatory Museum , I felt sad about all the visitors whose voices (and post-it note comments) weren’t honored. These folks are taking content to the biggest audiences in the field, often without the resources or support of other content creators. Where will it go in the next?

Two weeks ago, I conducted a participatory exhibit design workshop with staff at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

I learned to appreciate the audience reach of a big institution while vastly preferring the diversity of work and lack of bureaucracy of a small one.

We have different conversations on the phone than we do in person or in internet chat rooms. The outcome of our conversations is dependent on the diversity of designed environments in which they occur. If you feel that your audience needs monitoring or social support, position the talkback stations in open settings.

But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content. And yet these bar games have something that few museum adult programs offer: complete focus on the audience/participants, not the leader/speaker. It's reasonable to start a side conversation.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum.

Near the end of the talk, an audience member asked, How do you choose which level to approach a topic when your listeners range from people who know nothing to people who know all too much? Effectively, Robert is saying that Radiolab isn't just a show where the hosts have conversations with scientists. And they're doing it quite.
