El Museo Reimaginado is a collaborative effort of museum professionals in North and South America to explore museums' potential as community catalysts. I'm generalizing grossly here, but for the most part, I find European museums to be conservative. I find North American museums to be risk-averse.

Designed to assist and support an organization (and most commonly hospitals, museums, libraries, and arts organizations), these groups historically focus on raising funds, sometimes manage the volunteer corps, and nearly always maintain their own governance system.

It gave me a chance to really think about how we have been opening up our museum and what it means for our community. Museums can be incredible catalysts for social change. We can change that by embracing participatory culture and opening up to the active, social ways that people engage with art, history, science, and ideas today.

When I started this blog in 2006, I made a multi-media introduction to the concept of "museum 2.0" Venue as content platform instead of content provider: the museum becomes a stage on which professionals and amateurs can curate, interpret, and remix artifacts and information. The museum gets better the more people use it.
