You open a children''s book. Either I''m really sleep-deprived, or Press Here is the most brilliant interactive children''s book ever. Either I''m really sleep-deprived, or Press Here is the most brilliant interactive children''s book ever. This makes me wonder: how do we break the fourth wall in museums?

We connect with people both professionally and personally, at the museum and on the street. This weekend, I got my answer in Seoul--the 18th biggest city in the world--at Hello Museum. Nestled in a forest of high-rise apartment buildings, this small museum connects children and families with contemporary art.

Designed to inspire generosity in children, members are mailed monthly postcards featuring nonprofits and then the family can listen to the impact of their giving through Alexa. It’s ideal for museums, zoos, and any place that accepts point-of-sale donations. Good for restaurants struggling during COVID-19 and nonprofits.

Museum development officers and marketing professionals are all wondering if members of the Millennial generation (born after 1979) will support museums like our parents did. The American Alliance of Museums (AAM) seems to think we won’t. The New York Times.

A year ago, I wrote a post speculating about whether events (institutionally-produced programs) might be a primary driver for people to attend museums, with exhibitions being secondary. Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.

To honor Pickens’ lifetime giving to OSU of $650 million, a museum focused on his legacy is being constructed inside the school’s Boone Pickens football stadium. Boone Pickens—who died in 2019—gave $120 million as a legacy gift to his alma mater, Oklahoma State University (OSU). But many alumni aren’t waiting to give back through a bequest.

I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.

This morning, I checked in on the Pocket Museums on our museum's ground floor. After I took down all the "kick me" and "kick it" post-its covering the Pocket Museum title label in the men's room, I realized that this is the perfect example of an A-to-B test for gendered response to a participatory museum experience.

But what about arts organizations or museums? For example, let’s say you’re a local children’s theater company. You are in an affluent neighborhood, so typically the children are not at risk. What about schools or conservation causes? It’s true – conflict is less recognizable and lower stakes for certain causes.
