In the final installment of Museum 2.0’s s four part series on comfort in museums, we get down to the basics: creature comfort.

What does your museum have to say about it? What do visitors expect of museums, and what do museums expect of themselves, when it comes to timeliness? This is partially driven by museums, which want to be seen as "forums" for discourse, but also by the expectations of a media-saturated public. Pluto just got demoted.

You can put a display at the front of the museum. The Boston Library main branch used to have an “ask a librarian” booth in the front featuring a person sitting at a card table with some books. It makes you feel like you’re in a user community, and hopefully, it helps you find a good book. And it’s easy to implement.

Here's the basic idea: while you are at the museum, you save digitizable content--either content you make (photos of yourself) or content you collect (museum-supplied text or media of interest). The personal webpage has many adherents, and some institutions, like The Tech Museum in San Jose, have been offering them for almost a decade.

All this delightful non-fiction makes me wonder: why aren't museums great at telling these same kinds of deep, intense stories? This seems strange given that museums are organized around objects. They had a very simple exhibit of single-page laminated stories, transcribed from oral interviews with elders in the community.
