When we say we want our museum to be "audience-centered," what do we mean? However, I have enormous respect for the customer-centered model when it is executed in ways that truly invite visitors in on their own terms and deliver satisfying experiences. They deliver learning experiences at many levels, engaging many senses.

For years, I'd give talks about community participation in museums and cultural institutions, and I'd always get the inevitable question: "but what value does this really have when it comes to dollars and cents?"

When talking about active audience engagement with friends in the museum field, I often hear one frustrated question: how can we get adults to participate?
