This exhibition represents a few big shifts for us: We used a more participatory design process. Our previous big exhibition, All You Need is Love, was highly participatory for visitors but minimally participatory in the development process. Without further ado, here's what we did to make the exhibition participatory.

Going to MAH and seeing the LOVE exhibition on First Friday was a wonderful experience. It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. Pull up an armchair for a tour of our participatory hits, misses, and related discoveries.

If museums get involved in these online-offline partnerships, we can bring new audiences through our doors, familiarize them with museum-going in a comfortable way, and reap the benefits of their online musings about their real-life experiences. Consider the experience of the Computer History Museum and their Yelp!

A group in their late teens/early 20s were wandering through the museumwide exhibition on love. When I walked by the first time, the teens were collaging and Kyle and Stacey were talking. I don't know what formed the bridge between the artists and the teens in this circumstance. Kyle had brought his baby with him.

We''re more successful when we target particular communities or audiences and design experiences for them. What started as a series of experiments and happy accidents is now embedded in how we develop and evaluate projects. It''s impossible for any organization or business to do a great job being for everyone.
