Museum 2.0

NOVEMBER 18, 2014

I''ve mostly seen museums employ one of two methods for formal community advisors: Create special "spots" on the board of trustees for certain kinds of community representatives. CON: can feel disconnected from the primary governance of the museum or can feel like a second-class board overall. I struggle with both these options.

Not the content (which most people skim in about 13 seconds or less). The mom has a job at a museum cafe, the older kids are in school, and the youngest attends a wonderful daycare center we are so fortunate to partner with. When you are brainstorming, your words might not sound so polished, which is fine. Your gift of $29.88

In my continuing quest to find elegant ways to integrate technology into the museum experience, we come to interpretative material and the simple question, "How can you create natural ways for visitors to retrieve the information of most interest to them relative to an artifact or exhibit?" Here's one lovely answer: Meta.L.Hyttan.

I was fascinated by our discussion, and Bob came to mind last month, when I was asked to write an article for the Association of Children's Museums quarterly journal, Hand to Hand , about children's museums and Web 2.0. To understand more, I turned to Elaine Gurian's article The Molting of Children's Museums? Why the uniformity?

But if you are using their language or really innovative elements, you should credit them. For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. A creative fundraiser can make any of these items sound attractive to the donor. Get creative.

This morning, I gave the keynote address for the Washington Museums Association annual conference. It features lots of museum-based examples. But in this post, I wanted to highlight a goofy little (non-museum) project that inspires me in its simplicity and openness to mass collaboration. It's called One Million Giraffes.

Nikki created "The Ministry of Rules" --a shadow organization that existed for one week during half-term break, staffed by visitors who served as "Inspectors" investigating, exploring, and poking fun at the rules that make museums and galleries go. How did the museum staff respond to this experience? How did this project come about?

Unsurprisingly, some of my favorite museums are small, funky places run by iconoclasts—but that’s not useful to most professionals who work for organizations in which they have little control over size or leadership matters. This may sound obvious and natural, but it’s easy to underestimate the power of institutional culture.

Today, the Luce Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) is launching what they claim is the first ever alternate reality game (ARG) in a museum. Why would an art museum create an ARG? And the "stuff" of the game is real stuff, artifacts created by players and sent to the museum. To expand their audiences.

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. I spent an hour this morning "brand listening" to what the online world says about one of my favorite museums, the Exploratorium.

Today, we look inward for a how-to on one type of participatory design as applied to museum exhibits. The photos above were provided by Paul Martin of the Science Museum of Minnesota from their award-winning exhibition RACE. When he speaks about these photos, Paul spends little time on the content of the exhibits.

If we want to work with directors, trustees, and other skeptics to evolve museums and other content providers alongside Web 2.0, literally speak a different language from the rest of us. And even if you understand what a site does, what can it do for your museum? To many people, the culture of Web 2.0

And a lot of this content that I’m talking about today is in my book called “Cloudburst” on fundraising, you’ll find scripts and things in there you haven’t ever seen before. And I know that sounds expensive. And it will be helpful. But hopefully, some of you have it in hand, that’d be great.
