Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 11, 2020

Museums have used games to engage visitors for decades. SR: I came to games before I came to museums. My grandmother cheated at Candyland and uno. :) Games, I think, have a nice Venn diagram of overlap between museum lovers. I love thinking we're getting new museum lovers through games. How did you get into museum games?

Thank you to Susan Spero and all the folks at JFKU and Left Coast Press for starting a highly stimulating conversation this weekend at the colloquium on Museums and Civic Discourse. There were, as we say in the museum business, some good aha moments. What role should museums play in promoting discourse?

They take care of your facility, give tours of your museum, welcome attendees to your annual gala, and pass out medals at fundraising races. You could even ask volunteers to facilitate a warm introduction for you instead of just giving you a list of names. Volunteers are the backbone of any nonprofit organization.

into the museum is the potential to encourage more positive in-museum interactions among strangers. 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.

To help facilitate a pleasant outdoor meal experience, auction off a picnic gift basket with dishware, cutlery, wine glasses, and a cheeseboard. While artists will love a new set of paintbrushes or acrylic paint, offer a unique experience like a tour of the local art museum for those who simply love the craft.

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. Most museum labels assume the visitor starts with little or no knowledge. Consider the example posed in the Peter Sellers movie Being There.

When you count attendance to your museum, do you include: people who eat in the cafe? It''s about museum attendance and how the five big, free museums in St. Summertime concerts at the history museum? Outdoor movies at the art museum? If a kid gets dragged to a museum with their parents, do they count?
