Way better than that video at Museum X where the director drones on about the new initiatives of the year. I know I have a lot to learn from the content AND the format of this report. I'm sometimes wary of studies of "innovation," but I like how this one could be used reflectively within an organization to assess openness to change.

It was terrific to have a packed room and a long, open conversation (we split the session into half presenting, half audience discussion) about these issues. This was a topic I was never interested in before I became a director. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday.

This post was written by Jaime Kopke , the founder/director of the Denver Community Museum , a pop-up community-generated institution that ran from Oct 2008-April 2009. There was no budget, no staff, no permanent location, no Board of Directors and no collection. It was free to participate in and to visit.

Every once in a while I come across a project I wish I could have included in The Participatory Museum. The exhibition was open for 54 days and was visited by 14,000 people. As Learning Director Emma Bryant commented, "The exhibition is much more subtle than I think we would have done if we had done it by ourselves for children."

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. But the point is that the MAH, like just about every other museum in the known universe, was content to define the museum experience as something removed from the outside world, a rarefied church-like space of refined artistic reflection.

They are open long hours, and they are located within a short walk of home or the office (or preferably, both). I used to think museums and libraries should be third places, but this book opened my eyes to how far they are from being so. More cultivation of regulars not just as docents but as social directors. Longer hours.

Click is an exhibition process in three parts: The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations. In this way, Click is a powerful example of the "venue as content platform" definition of 2.0. What is Click? Anyone can judge.

I had just started at the MAH as the new executive director. I didn't know how to open a meeting. If we open meetings with purpose, we should close them that way too. Events are not all logistics and content. The museum was in huge financial trouble. I wasn't sure we were going to make payroll that week.

The schools have open wireless internet, so each student has continual access to the Web. They were ahead of the museum curve, using language like "participatory learning environment" (Brooklyn Children's Museum, 1977) that is still thick in the mouths of contemporary museum directors in other fields.

Elaine Gurian once told me there are two ways for institutions to innovate: they can be so small that no one notices them, or they can have a director who is willing to put his/her neck on the line for the innovation. Maybe the director is obsessed with “company secrets” and you’ll never be able to share behind-the-scenes work.

For many museums, visitor research--how people use the museum, navigate exhibits, and understand content--may be an equally important arena in which to adopt groundswell listening techniques. The experience, the director commented, was so painful that they would never repeat it. But what if you asked questions instead?
