When we talk about museums or cultural institutions as vehicles of social and civic change, what does that really mean? Museum work is mostly non-contact. This may sound obvious, but the rhetoric about cultural organizations working in the social sphere often ignores our inherent differences. We all work for nonprofits.

Sure, it’s great to learn museum theory and history.

I'm trying to reposition our museum as a cultural hub supporting creative and intellectual community growth. Our conversation made me reflect on the museums that most inspire me from a public service perspective--institutions with missions that stretch far beyond their walls. These museums work differently.

Museum professionals tend to think this is OK because they think of the contributory act as the important part of the participation. This sounds ridiculous, but it’s the way many museums approach participatory projects. I think this is why the Top 40 exhibition at the Worcester City Gallery and Museum was such a success.

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. History: Simply being around a long time has some cachet and may mean you have access to historical wisdom, knowledge, and records. You just need to show proof of membership. These exist already!

It invites visitors to make the museum better. When visitors share their brilliance, it brings the museum to life. I believe that every person who walks into our museum has something valuable to share. A personal history. It's not their job to present their abilities to us. A creative talent. A special skill.

In 1990, educator and cultural critic Neil Postman described a museum as "an answer to a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a human being?" Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. Welcome to Pine Point is not a museum project. It uses multimedia beautifully.
