What do Millennials want from a museum experience? Museum development officers and marketing professionals are all wondering if members of the Millennial generation (born after 1979) will support museums like our parents did.

I was thinking I’d do a few alternative histories of museums for the first post of the last month of the decade. As I imagined a world without the many museum tech projects of the decade, I felt inherently sad about the imagining away the successes that friends and colleagues have enjoying. But I couldn’t get there.

In 2010, the Children''s Museum of Tacoma was getting ready to move to a new, bigger facility. When they moved to the new facility, they decided they wanted to radically expand access to the museum, AND increase revenue. The Children''s Museum of Tacoma is two years into their "pay as you will" model, and it looks like a success.

Museums have used games to engage visitors for decades. SR: I came to games before I came to museums.

As many a museum parent, I also assume I am dragging my children with me, often forgetting that they like museums. One of my children asked if we could go into the museum.

The San Francisco Museum of Art recently launched an ingenious bot called “Send Me” that allows anyone to send a simple text message and receive a picture of a piece of art matching the idea, words, or phrase texted.
