Museum 2.0

AUGUST 7, 2008

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.

When we first started planning C2, we were concerned that no one would come or that people would perceive it as frivolous in a time of extreme stress in the economy and museum industry. And we got to do it all in a beautiful natural environment. Instead, my head is buzzing with energy and excitement about work.

You have to keep track and not fall behind. There are on-demand games, like chess, that are available in playing environments like Washington Square or Yahoo Games. They do so not to raise the adrenaline but to create environments more directly related to potential real situations. Whatever it is, it’s in someone else’s control.

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.

but still, a programming environment. I'm still a "passive consumer" in the eyes of ScratchR, but my actions are tracked every time I view a Scratch project (as are spectators'). The last three reflect the interests of the users--and not in quantity (i.e. I'm one of them. most views) but in recency. Does it work? usercontent.

And it represents the highest year of giving on record since the Giving Institute began tracking this data more than 60 years ago. So first is how we can reflect on the importance of diversity to our board’s work, specifically fundraising. Again, how many of you have attended an event or go to a museum?

Many museums are experimenting with “back channel” platforms that allow visitors and staff to chat and share content while onsite at the museum. I noted three distinct, valuable uses of back channels at WebWise: To communicate socially in an environment that does not permit open dialogue.

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.

s Hawaiian son as applied to museums. Consider these two stories of museum-related wikis that struggled. In May of 2007, Woody Sobey released a wiki for science museum educators to share their demos.

Yet, the art world does not reflect that. If you think of artists like Gaugin, or artists who paint naked indigenous women-- as women it's easier for us to get into a museum if we're naked in a painting. A lot of these young men I feel are unjustly tracked into a juvenile justice system, and later into prison. We said, "OK.
