This person is writing about a participatory element (the "pastport") that we included in the exhibition Crossing Cultures. In front of each of those paintings, you could stamp your pastport, reflect on the artwork and the question, and share your story. The idea was that people would spin the wheel and start a conversation.

We make information into data when we explicitly attach it to a question and explicitly or implicitly connect it to an approach for making sense of it. Datamaking can enhance capacity building efforts through group questioning and analysis. Information is everything that is coming at us. However, to have data requires intention.

In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. Thirteen students produced three projects that layered participatory activities onto an exhibition of artwork from the permanent collection of the Henry Art Gallery. I suspect these big ideas were opaque to most visitors. This year, we took a different approach.

Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice? But the difference between the two examples teases out a problem in differentiating "participatory design" from "design for participation." In the first case, you are making the design process participatory. In the second, you make the product participatory.

Another idea – create an exit survey at your museum that asks simple questions like “what’s your favorite exhibit” or “how many times have you visited the museum.”. Make it easy.
