This is the sixth in a series of posts on the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History ( MAH )'s development of Abbott Square , a new creative community plaza in downtown Santa Cruz. John would run Abbott Square Market , a multi-vendor food and drink business, adjacent to the plaza, adjacent to the museum. Money is on the table.

Nina has written a fantastic book engagement called The Participatory Museum. Despite its long history, few researchers studied the use and impact of citizen science until the 1980s.

In the first rectangle, I sketched out one version of how our organization could be structured. After an hour, I had 12 different versions of our staff structure, each in its own little box.

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.

Museum professionals tend to think this is OK because they think of the contributory act as the important part of the participation. This sounds ridiculous, but it’s the way many museums approach participatory projects. I think this is why the Top 40 exhibition at the Worcester City Gallery and Museum was such a success.

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.
