Another point of intersection here for me is Henry Jenkins recently published 72-page white paper " Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century."

It's not topic-specific; I've done these exercises with art, history, science, and children's museums to useful effect.

It's not the extent to which they are participatory. The institutions that seem most prey to a "cookie cutter" approach are science centers and children's museums. The best children's and science museums are deeply community-interrelated, often in ways that are hard to discern from the exhibits when experiencing them casually.

It was exhilarating to see them inspired to create their own meanings in response: lovers whispering together in alcoves, people of all ages writing and drawing on walls and post-its, children painting, everyone sitting rapt before screens.
