Feel free to add your own questions and answers in the comments! Granted, I live in an increasingly narrow world of people who are exploring these topics and want me to work with them, but I still learn a lot from the questions and struggles I hear from colleagues and people who comment on the blog.

Every once in a while I come across a project I wish I could have included in The Participatory Museum. You can also watch some lovely footage of the children showing off their favorite objects along with staff reflecting on the process here. it's a Secret! , The project wasn't isolated to one department of the museum.

Recently, I was giving a presentation about participatory techniques at an art museum, when a staff member raised her hand and asked, "Did you have to look really hard to find examples from art museums? For this reason, I see history museums as best-suited for participatory projects that involve story-sharing and crowdsourced collecting (e.g.

This highlights the fact that while participatory design is by no means exclusive to the Web, that is the place most of the current experimentation is happening.

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. The exhibition is far from perfect, but it's a big step towards reflecting the "thriving, central gathering place" of our strategic vision. The Love Lounge I LOVE.

It's rare that a participatory museum project is more than a one-shot affair. I hope you'll share your thoughts in the comments. I realize, however, that this perspective reflects my own value judgment that local community engagement is a more important part of museum missions than providing digital access to content.

I'm curious to hear what you think works and doesn't as well and I hope you'll share your experiences in the comments. In contrast, organizations that feature staff or member walls celebrating people's diverse talents and interests reflect the idea that this is a community of people who care about each other.

What new projects might allow you to better reflect those aspirations? It’s not helpful to just measure outputs (number of visitor comments, length of stay) if those don’t translate to something that staff understand as useful outcomes. If your institution says it is bold and fearless, how do your programs support that?

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. When I decided to write a book about visitor participation in cultural institutions, I knew I'd do it in a way that reflected the values behind the book itself--transparency, inclusion, and meaningful community participation. Check out the other parts here.

Anna had been the founding Curator of Education at the National Building Museum, led the Rolling Rainforest project, and was a real innovator in developing in-depth participatory design experiences with community members (though I wouldn't have used those words at the time). There is lots of room for new voices online.

Paul Martin, VP of Exhibits at SMM, took several photos of people in the exhibition over its run, and he noted something strange: there was an incredibly high percentage of photos in which someone was pointing at an exhibit label, artifact, or component. As Paul commented, "you don't point at things when you're alone."

For the social media library giveaway I asked folks to leave a comment on how they would use the books to shape their 2010 social media strategy. I had over 60 comments and boy was it hard to choose only one winner - so I didn't. Brian Reich author of Media Rules left a comment offering to include a copy of his book.

Oh, and they wanted it to be participatory. I talked with Sarah Rich , one of the project’s instigators and staff members, to learn more about 48 Hour Magazine and its implications for other participatory media projects. He set up an infrastructure for people to evaluate submissions by giving it a yes, no, or maybe, with comments.

It's a project that requires people to do four things that are both simple and complex: go to the beach (anywhere in the world), make a piece of art using stones, photograph it, and then send the photos to the museum via the Web. Visitors to the website can't even comment on the photos or mark them as favorites.
