This may sound obvious and natural, but it’s easy to underestimate the power of institutional culture. I worked on one project in which the client institution thought they wanted unfettered teen expression. In the end, this generated a substandard product for the client, and disappointment for the teens.

Many institutions do this unintentionally--by providing post-its or comment books, pens or crayons. I encourage you to share your own rules and thoughts on this in the comments. Rabinowitz commented that "as a 40-year veteran of history museum interpretation, I can say that I never learned so much from and about visitors."

When I watch the videos teens created at the Exploratorium and post on YouTube, I see the aspects of the exhibits they thought were most important to share with their classmates. Here are three examples of changes you could make: Change the language and presentation of comment cards. Without good listening, these all sound like risks.

" At that comment, all the avatars started clapping, cheering, and agreeing with quips like "Wow, MacArthur Foundation really gets it.

As always, I welcome your questions and comments. We made a giant mobile for the center of the museum out of origami birds folded from visitor comments received in the past year. We tried collecting dreams, collecting smells or sounds or stories, but memories was most resonant. Digital Collections comment wall.

Last week, I wrote about the ways that dogs can be useful social objects --and you had lots of good comments and input. Sure, it's social, but people stick to their own "pods"--families, teens, adults--and don't diverge or merge. This week, I'm hoping you can help solve a mystery on a similar topic. Why does this happen?

commented that the demographic of people who are involved is much broader than you’d think, including lots of families looking for a fun, educational, free activity. Sounds like there might be some overlap with your museum audience? You can check out the path of some of the teen sculptures here. The “travel bugs” that Seth!

Sounds great. When producing for/by kids, there was more of an emphasis on giving the feel of the piece—with music, stories about the artist, comments about other art the artist produced—and those context clues helped me step into the art more emotionally. How do I start? “So, So, how’s it hanging?” I loved that.

It sounds as if Mr. Sametz is frantically casing city streets with a heat-seeking metal detector, on the hunt for a miscellaneous batch of confused folks whom he can stun into "connection." We're always happy for more bodies in the door, but if supporting teens means alienating seniors, there's a problem.

Sound Stairs As you walk up the stairs to the second floor of the exhibition, where the main gallery is, your footsteps trigger voices from the community saying "I love dance," "I love anthropology," "I love cats," etc. This sound installation is delightful and adds surprise to the museum. We spent a long time prototyping this one.

So send in your questions and comments. I know we were on earlier for our sound check, but I hear a little bit of a buzzing sound. It sounds so impersonal. Now, some of you are probably like, “Oh, that sounds like a disaster.” But most importantly, we’d love for these sessions to be interactive.

If you have a tween or a teen, I’m sure you’re familiar with TikTok. So instead of Meet and Learn, it’s An Evening of Photography and Poetry, which is what it actually was, which sounds a lot more interesting to me than a meet and learn. That sounds cool. It sounds really amazing. So it sounds awesome.
