Museums have used games to engage visitors for decades. SR: I came to games before I came to museums. My grandmother cheated at Candyland and uno. :) Games, I think, have a nice Venn diagram of overlap between museum lovers. I love thinking we're getting new museum lovers through games. How did you get into museum games?

But, also, it was fun to put whole potatoes in roaring fires and eat wild blackberries. The long-term ramifications of this year on museums will transform the field. It will only come to us later.

You gravitated toward the museum, zoo, gallery, symphony, cultural management organization because of your roots. Build a membership program specifically for children.

When talking about active audience engagement with friends in the museum field, I often hear one frustrated question: how can we get adults to participate? In children's museums and science centers, this relationship is at its most extreme. And yet in the museum world, we still see interactives as being mostly for kids.
