North Carolina Museum of History 1988.39.4 I’m always amazed when my colleagues tell me that the biggest barrier they face to “opening up” the content at their museums is from registrars—the people who care for collection objects. Followers of Museum 2.0 Do these two directives and perspectives have to be at odds?

With that in mind, ask yourself these questions: Do you have board members who are giving consistently? . With that in mind, use storytelling techniques to draw them in, show them how they can be part of the solution, and ask them to donate. . Do you have volunteers who are volunteering multiple times each month? .

Museums have used games to engage visitors for decades. SR: I came to games before I came to museums. My grandmother cheated at Candyland and uno. :) Games, I think, have a nice Venn diagram of overlap between museum lovers. I love thinking we're getting new museum lovers through games. How did you get into museum games?

Museum Computer Network has become my Shangri-la, in a way. In some ways, museum work has this illusory aspect. Or museum work is like atomic theory perhaps. I'm pretty open to a number of possibilities in museums. I am most definitely not open on the issues of collection care.
