I'm working on a section of my book about sharing social objects and am writing about the most common way that visitors share their object experiences in museums: through photographs. Conservation: Objects may be damaged by flash photography. Yes, some people (especially vocal museum staff!) But what about visitors?

I had a vague sense of how conservation fit into their educational missions, but I didn''t realize the extent of the direct advocacy and activism happening every day. In museums (and zoos), we frequently stop the conversation with visitors when it comes to action--especially political action. We want our donors to be advocates.

Relative to other museums, I think we spend less time producing an "onstage" experience and more time collaborating with community organizations behind the scenes to empower them to produce. Our museum is growing, and I'm always weighing different ways to expand our impact. I feel great about this approach.

As a side note, my positive feelings about the onsite Zealandia experience were somewhat undermined by their branding as a "conservation attraction" on their website and on billboards around Wellington. Zealandia isn't more than just a nice place to go see animals in natural habitats, and I think it's a disservice to market it that way.

Several of the projects I'm working on these days relate to the concept of "extending the museum experience."

But most online experiences are not linear.
