This summer, we opened two exhibitions at my museum that are highly relevant to local culture. Before the Princes of Surf exhibition, these boards rested deep in the collection storage of the Bishop Museum in Hawaii. Relevance only leads to deep meaning if it leads to something significant. Killer content. Substantive programming.

We’ve recently seen a slew of music award shows and individual musicians performing in hybrid concerts: the artist performs on a stage like normal, but to an empty venue, while that performance is streamed live to spectators at home. Quizzes based on music, TV shows, or sports are also frequently well received. 20) Book club.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? But for museum and art wonks, it could be. And the projects themselves are brilliant.

She told me an anecdote about an experience with the Stanford Art Museum exhibition, Question , which included a keyboard where visitors could type their own thoughts about art, to be projected on a wall along with quotes by famous people. Was the idea of other people seeing "Shit" projected on the wall part of its appeal?

When we have a critical mass of new people, anywhere from 3-7 a month, I try to explain the project as briefly as possible. Never mind your work experience, what do you really want to be doing that the library can help you accomplish? This Pop Up Library just returned from a folk music festival.

If we were musicians, we'd have the recordings and the sheet music. What was the basis for this project? The whole process of developing an exhibition tends to get stuck behind a museum's doors. How did this come to be an ASTC (Association of Science and Technology Centers) project? There's no sharing of that information.

There have been some fun semantic jousting matches recently on the ASTC listserv about the difference between science museums and science centers. And earlier last month, the Museum of Television and Radio announced a name change to the Paley Center for Media. The word Museum is not powerful enough, alone, to attract or repel visitors.

This year, the American Association of Museums annual conference was in Los Angeles (my hometown). I hosted two sessions, one on design for participation and the other on mission-driven museum technology development. He started with museums as a "place to go"--to see things, consume experiences.

Well, that 80%, 60% of that money goes to large institutional organizations like hospitals and universities, and large cultural institutions, like museums, zoos, and libraries, and religious organizations. So these are key things you want to keep in mind. They’re top-of-mind ownership. Plus, it’s super competitive.

At the Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston, there is an inverted fountain in the Hall of Ideas on which projections of letters form inspirational quotations which swirl around the pool towards the center. As the guide explained to us, more minds means more ideas. In the museum, there's an added challenge: social fear of strangers.

They were using music, dance, poetry, and storytelling, and they were succeeding. PG: I think that the one that comes to mind first is a wonderful picture of women in Kenya who are growing corn.
