Museum 2.0

AUGUST 20, 2009

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. Revenue Streams: Museums want to maintain control of sales of "officially sanctioned" images of objects via catalogues and postcards.

This August/September, I am "rerunning" popular Museum 2.0 Originally posted in April of 2011, just before I hung up my consulting hat for my current job at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. I''ve spent much of the past three years on the road giving workshops and talks about audience participation in museums.

I was particularly interested in examples using blogs, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, and Facebook. One of the best projects that illustrates the basic idea of Web2.0 - listening and conversation and stakeholders creating their own experience with your organization - comes from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Everyone is a Curator.

Tagging, a feature found across many social media channels, is used to help surface content during searches. Adding tags to content, whether blog post; video; photo; and so on, helps content creators organize content and, more importantly, helps your intended audience find it on the Internet.

The conventional wisdom on museum memberships is that they are "one size fits many" programs whose primary benefits are free entrance to the museum and insider access to exhibition openings. But what about all the other people who love your museum? Want to know how the Brooklyn Museum is answering this question?

Why, Mary asked, were there no posts about children's museums on this site? Why aren't children's museums represented on Museum 2.0? stuff naturally.

Today I got an early present from the San Francisco NPR station, KQED, which aired a piece on Museum 2.0 featuring me (as well as the fabulous Lori Fogarty of the Oakland Museum of California). This concept has spawned a question I like to obsess over: What would a museum look like that got better the more people used it?

All the photos in this post are on Flickr here. As one participant said, "the museum feels friendly in a way it usually doesn't." People make the museum friendly, not activities. Even with example content to guide participation, most visitors used these opportunities to write secrets on any topic, unrelated to the artwork.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Teens more commonly use the Web to stay in touch with their pre-existing social groups than to join new communities based on content affinities or interests.

What is the ideal role of your marketing or PR team in the creation and distribution of content on the social Web?

Whenever visitors enjoy a program or exhibit at the museum, it’s clear to them where they are.
