Museums have used games to engage visitors for decades. SR: I came to games before I came to museums. My grandmother cheated at Candyland and uno. :) Games, I think, have a nice Venn diagram of overlap between museum lovers. I love thinking we're getting new museum lovers through games. How did you get into museum games?

But the law’s authors never saw the internet coming. Museums, libraries, and zoos. At the time, many brick and mortar businesses and commercial properties lacked accommodations such as wheelchair ramps, handrails, and designated parking for those with disabilities. Theaters and stadiums. Laundromats, dry-cleaners, and banks.

Author: Seema Rao This week I’m talking about being human-centered. Audiences are a portion of the humans in the museum ecosystem. The reason I think of a museum as human-centered is that to become audience-centered your organization has to center people. One of my hardest projects was a museum-library partnership.

Over the past four years, I''ve been running a small regional art and history museum in Santa Cruz, CA. and "why?" to "how?".

COST: Museum books tend to be expensive - because they are printed in small runs, the price for a 400-page paperback can be as high as $40. Why Self-Publish?

Then I received this commentary from Elaine Heumann Gurian, a museum hero of mine who has been following the book club--and I had to include it. I had became convinced (around 1996) that there was something important about museums as socializing spaces that should be further explored. I was excited.

The Perkins History Museum has an impressive collection on the history of education for people who are blind and deafblind. However, they are also planning to create an online museum and archive that will be fully accessible to all. If you go in person, you can touch pretty much everything, because that's how Perkins teaches.

Why should museums care about customer support? While I’ve never heard of a museum with such a heavy call volume that they’ve outsourced their front desk to Bangalore, many museums, small and large, suffer at the phones. The reason museums resist peer-to-peer visitor support is fear of erroneous and unvetted information.
