Museum 2.0

JANUARY 30, 2013

Earlier this year, I was fascinated to read the account of a participatory project at the Morrison County Historical Society in Minnesota, in which community members were invited to write essays about “what’s it like” to have various life experiences in the County. So I put all the forms together first.

Today, we look inward for a how-to on one type of participatory design as applied to museum exhibits. The photos above were provided by Paul Martin of the Science Museum of Minnesota from their award-winning exhibition RACE.

You can see or download my slides and you can watch the video of the talk. I used the example of two very different exhibitions that solicited visitor-contributed content: Playing with Science at the London Science Museum, and MN150 at the Minnesota History Center. Or you can read this condensed version of the talk.

While there, I was lucky to get to experience a highly participatory exhibition that the MIA mounts once a decade: Foot in the Door. The rules are clear: anyone who lives in Minnesota and considers her/himself an artist can contribute one piece. Tags: exhibition design participatory museum usercontent.
