You will make history. The simulation is structured to give students information, then a binary choice. It isn't until the last group when Starlee sees a young Reagan who decides against the invasion--and against history. Lives are at stake. Adult staff members are not here to answer questions or help you. Maybe, maybe not.

It is what it sounds like: a book of original sheet music, beautifully designed and complemented with artwork and text. In his thoughtful preface to this project, I reconnected with five lessons I''ve learned from participatory projects in museums and cultural sites. There are twenty songs in Song Reader. That''s expected.

We believe that partnerships build a stronger museum and a stronger community. Like most museums and nonprofits, we have a donor database. Instead of each staff member tracking their own community partners, we're building a shared database of all the partners who contribute time, money, and talent to the museum. SALESFORCE.

It requires trading a certain history for an uncertain future--a nerve-wracking prospect no matter the situation. Most museums that offer interactive exhibits, media elements, or participatory activities offer them alongside traditional labels and interpretative tools. This is incredibly scary. You can't always do "and."

Today, discussion with Elaine about ways museums choose their direction, how change is possible, and new museum types to be added to the list. What if you don’t want to be identified as one type of museum?

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. History: Simply being around a long time has some cachet and may mean you have access to historical wisdom, knowledge, and records. This can include museums, archives, galleries, etc.

Many institutions do this unintentionally--by providing post-its or comment books, pens or crayons. Rabinowitz commented that "as a 40-year veteran of history museum interpretation, I can say that I never learned so much from and about visitors." A lone "What do you think?"

Frank Warren has released the third PostSecret book, A Lifetime of Secrets. I was struck, looking at the Amazon page for the book, by one of its negative reviews. The reviewer, madhatter, wrote: This project ran its course two books ago. Some staff are wearying of the messiness, noise, and lack of structure in their new face.

If anyone out there is considering creating an industry catch-all site for museum-related content, I highly recommend Gamasutra as a model. Can museums afford to indulge in this kind of fantasy? It drives me nuts when I’m in a museum that has made a half-hearted attempt to thematically connected galleries or exhibits.

I spoke to them on different days, so I've taken some liberty with structure here, but their words are maintained intact. Jim: It came out of a book that Kathy Maclean did with Wendy's help, Are We There Yet? The whole process of developing an exhibition tends to get stuck behind a museum's doors. Reviews followed closely after.

There was no initial design, no graphics, and no idea of where the teen' work would fit into an overall structure. Find a way to control the structure, even if it's artificial. The most extreme example of this is the writing programs at 826 Valencia , which feature a mean, unseen editor who demands books from the students.

Earlier this year, the New Museum and Creative Time commissioned a traveling piece by artist Jeremy Deller called "It Is What It Is: Conversations About Iraq." I saw It Is What It Is twice at the Hammer Museum. Why would I want to talk about Iraq on a visit to an art museum? Even for me, the barriers were too high.

The reward for participants of having your contribution displayed is fairly and clearly structured. I think of 3six5 as a coffee table book that is being written one day at a time. Participating in this made me wonder: could a museum or library run a project like 3six5? Complexities of project management.

When we talk about making museums or performing arts organizations more participatory and dynamic, those changes are often seen as threatening to the traditional arts experience. Museums no longer showed human horns alongside historic documents; theaters made differentiations among types of live entertainment. I can't wait.

Why do you care about and or work in museums? I don't work in museums because I love them. I didn't grow up staring open-mouthed at natural history dioramas or wandering through art galleries. When I visit a new city, I don't clamor to visit museums. I don't work in museums because I love them. I go on hikes.
