In 2010, the Children''s Museum of Tacoma was getting ready to move to a new, bigger facility. When they moved to the new facility, they decided they wanted to radically expand access to the museum, AND increase revenue. Consider the ongoing lawsuits at the Metropolitan Museum on this very issue.)

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.

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.

In the context of fundraising the most common stories that we tell are impact stories and stories about people. 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.

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.

Why does your museum open its doors each day? Will they be visiting with children? What other museums do they follow/enjoy visiting? If you are asking that people take the time to open, read and engage with your email, you should also take the time to understand their wants, needs and motivations. Where are they located?
