Visitor (though, really my child) at the Maritime Museum, Greenwich, UK As I said, last week, I’ve been to a travelin’ girl for the last couple of years. So, instead, I am offering 3 posts this month about what I learned from visiting more than 300 museums. Last week, I talked about what I learned about museum workers.

One of the best projects that illustrates the basic idea of Web2.0 - listening and conversation and stakeholders creating their own experience with your organization - comes from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Nina observes that the following makes this project really special: It is 100% community-based. Everyone is a Curator.

I just returned from the American Association of Museums (AAM) annual meeting in Philadelphia. I led two sessions, one on visitor co-created museum experiences, and the other on design inspirations from outside museums. This spanned all the projects. This is a question we grappled with in the Tech Virtual project.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This post covers my personal process of encouraging--and harnessing--participation in the creation of The Participatory Museum. I couldn't drop the project for months or abandon it entirely. Check out the other parts here. But that didn't matter.

Despite her family's affluence, Lorraine Hansberry's childhood in Chicago during the 1930s was not without hardship, discrimination, and segregation. French fashion designer and business woman Coco Chanel did much more than make clothing. Fund their work! Sheroes in the Arts. Lorraine Hansberry. Are you inspired by women in the arts?

Here's a problem many museums would like to solve: How do you design an intuitive way to give visitors unique IDs so that visitors can receive personalized content and feedback and institutions can receive real-time data tracking on visitor behavior? These projects are good attempts, but they have some fundamental problems.

Many museums are experimenting with “back channel” platforms that allow visitors and staff to chat and share content while onsite at the museum. When a speaker would mention a project, someone would immediately post the relevant URL to Today’sMeet. For some educators and curators, this may sound like a nightmare.

So give me a painting in an art museum with a video of the artist creating that painting right next to it.

I just finished listening to This American Life 's incredible two-part series about gun violence at Harper High School in Chicago. 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.

Traditional exhibition design, in which the museum has a specific story or message to tell, doesn't easily accommodate visitor co-creation. This realization--that a single museum voice was not the best way to tell a particular story--formed the basis for MN150 , the exhibition explored in this post.
