Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice? But the difference between the two examples teases out a problem in differentiating "participatory design" from "design for participation."

I'm incredibly proud of all the staff, trustees, volunteers, collaborators, visitors, and members who have made this happen. We're hearing on a daily basis that the museum has a new role in peoples' lives and in the identity of the county. They all have in concert, and they build on each other. Community response.

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."
