This is not an analytical post (primarily); it's an announcement and invitation to join the new project I've been working on with The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, CA. But this is not just for The Tech; our grant mandates that this project be a service to the museum community at large. A contractor, Involve Inc.,

The Discovery Center is a one-hour simulation in which groups of students (grade 5 and up) role play in a realistic, interactive environment. And the intention was for the facilitator to point out either during the experience itself or during the debrief that there are a lot of different choices. Maybe, maybe not.

I want to see more multi-person exhibits, more prompts for discussion about content, more tools to facilitate connecting wtih other visitors whose interests are similar or in some way useful to your own.

Why discuss gifting on Museum 2.0? One of my greatest interests is the "p articipatory museum," in which there is substantive, unfacilitated visitor-to-visitor interaction. When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. Gifting extends your message.

I finished reading the Museums and Social Issues journal on Civic Discourse, and it's brought up a groundswell of internal debate for me about museums and comfort. How civil does the environment have to be to encourage civic participation? Yes, museums should be safe. Interaction comfort. Supportive facilitators?)

As the museum's website puts it, "this exhibition examines how artists have engaged members of the public as essential collaborators in the art-making process." If the participatory instructions were integrated into the standard black labels, visitors would not be as aware of the commonalities across the interactive art pieces.

I spent Saturday in beautiful Monterey, ocean pounding outside the window of a conference room, where about 40 museum folks were pondering a question more elusive than the origin of the waves: can museums change the world? In two months, 10,000 visitors sent postcards (and fortuitiously, the government acted in favor of protection).

You may not be Tiger Woods on the golf course, but in a game environment, you are his worthy opponent. But what if you are in an educational setting, like a museum? This was a huge challenge in designing Operation Spy , a live action narrative immersion game at the Spy Museum. You already know how to hit the ball.

I've become convinced that successful paths to participation in museums start with self-identification. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge their uniqueness and validate their ability to connect with the museum on their own terms. Who is the "me" in the museum experience? Not so at museums.

Welcome to the second in the four-part series on comfort (and its boundaries) in museums, a day late but just as tasty. I came out of it truly amazed by the power of the museum—not just to elicit laughter, but also to induce bizarre and voluntary acts of silliness in front of and with strangers.

What if visitors could stream into the museum, with the expectation that at some point they would encounter a staff member who could facilitate the purchase of admission?
