In the fall I bought a Groupon to a local gym. Despite this preparation--and the years I'd spent in similar gyms as a college student--it took almost all my willpower not to turn around and walk out the door immediately after entering. How could a person possibly feel intimidated, truly frightened, of entering a museum?

You’ve come to the right place to learn more about how to plan a silent auction for fundraising. Now that you have your planning committee, it’s time to figure out where and how exactly your fundraising silent auction will take place. For instance, you might partner with a local restaurant to auction off a free meal.

I've always been a bit confused when people talk about the impact of a museum or arts institution as being about "more than numbers." I understand that some museum offer extraordinary, intimate programs. I was visiting with Adam Lerner, Director and Chief Animator of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. It makes sense.

However, a student this summer pointed out another meaning of the term: in psychiatry , a neologism is a unique term coined and used by someone with a mental illness, evidence of a thought disorder. I can understand why somebody interested in museums wouldn't want to cover ground on health sector management. That certainly fits here.

The design and feel of the place was different than any science center I''d ever experienced.

There are lots of great science museum resources, but not where these kids can walk after school. Who are those local coalitions?

Last month, the Christian Science Monitor published an article entitled, "Museums' new mantra: Connect with community." It took me a couple weeks (and various museum blog responses ) to realize what bugs me about this article--it treats "connecting with community" as a marketing ploy, a "mantra" rather than a mission. Which community?
