They take care of your facility, give tours of your museum, welcome attendees to your annual gala, and pass out medals at fundraising races. For example, if you’re hosting a peer-to-peer fundraising event on a college campus, having college-aged volunteers will help you better connect with your target audience.

This expresses itself most powerfully in museums when we talk about building relationships with visitors over time. But museums are one-night stand amnesiacs in the relationship department. This is terrible, both for the visitor and for the museum. I expect you'll remember some basic things about me--say, my name. We hang out.

You can join the conversation in the blog comments, or on the Museum 2.0 Like many museum and library professionals, I am enamored of the idea of cultural institutions as “third places” – public venues for informal, peaceable, social engagement outside of home or work. This is the only post written by me, Nina Simon.

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?

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).

The gym staff aren’t offering instruction or serving as users’ partners; instead, they facilitate connections among the users. I got thinking about this the other day with regard to museums. Floor staff are limited by time—they can’t possibly interact with all or even most of the people in the museum at any given time.

They edit the conversations into radio shows, which are then made available as a podcast (you can listen to episode featuring me, #89: Museum Secrets, here ). And they made me appreciate them as superb facilitators as a particular kind of participatory experience: conversation with strangers. But it's more complicated than that.

Every adults who takes a child to a Children's Museum cares about his or her identity as a caregiver. What's the next step?

And finally, you want to identify the roles needed to create, facilitate, and implement the programs and services you design with the community. Someone has to host, someone has to clean up. Know where your community is and what tools they want to use, and either use those or build them together. What roles are needed?
