Museum 2.0

MARCH 21, 2012

I grew up professionally in the science and children's museum field, where touching is guaranteed and floor staff spend more time helping visitors learn and ensuring their personal safety than they do protecting the objects. The Milwaukee Art Museum has a video explaining do's and don'ts of the museum for children. This was amazing.

Museum 2.0

NOVEMBER 16, 2010

I spent some time playing with this question last week at the Milwaukee Art Museum, a large general museum that is moving toward redesign of the permanent galleries. Tags: design participatory museum usercontent. How do you find your way around a multi-faceted museum? Do you interrogate the map? Create a plan for yourself?

Museum 2.0

JANUARY 3, 2011

I published The Participatory Museum in March (with help from many of you!) The most peaceful, personal, emergent science center I've ever visited. I prefer to think of this as "personalized character." Dear Museum 2.0 readers, 2010 was a big year for me. Fascinating and fun to stretch out from museums for a bit.
