Recently, we''ve been talking at our museum about techniques for capturing compelling audio/video content with visitors. It made me dig up this 2011 interview with Tina Olsen (then at the Portland Art Museum) about their extraordinary Object Stories project. We ended up with a gallery in the museum instead.

Alison Koch shared these thoughts originally as part of Museum Computer Network 's 2019 Ignite.

They were that true and that powerful. I hope you enjoy them.

And that got me thinking about how bad museums are at doing the same thing--using passion to promote visitor engagement in new content. Museums shy away from presenting passionate views. Museums don't have a cheering section. Museums do a decent job addressing the first two questions, but we rarely tackle the third.

I’m working on a virtual museum project these days, and one question that often comes up is “What is the most fun thing we could let visitors do here that they can’t do in the real world?” After all, most of our ideas don’t require a virtual landscape; any museum could commission Kid Rock’s tour of the galleries. Consider television.
