Museum 2.0

APRIL 28, 2009

On Friday, I offered a participatory design workshop for Seattle-area museum professionals ( slides here ). We concluded by sharing the tough questions each of us struggles with in applying participatory design techniques to museum practice. The most reliable question I'm using works in art museums. That's why I asked.

This means you receive real-time audio data while running about your progress (updates each mile), and later, can review your run stats online. In many ways, it's the IDEAL inspiration for museums seeking to create a pervasive, sticky visitor experience that extends beyond the visit and is not totally screen-bound. Nice provisions.

Why discuss gifting on Museum 2.0? One of my greatest interests is the "p articipatory museum," in which there is substantive, unfacilitated visitor-to-visitor interaction. When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. No, I'm not angling for a present.

Heck, sign me up for a ticket to the zombie museum. But when I took off my “entertainment” glasses and put on my museum eyes, my reaction wasn’t amusement. I imagined museum folks reading the article and snapping the paper closed with smug smiles on their faces: "See. It was distaste. This is why we have to avoid Disneyfication."

For many museums, visitor research--how people use the museum, navigate exhibits, and understand content--may be an equally important arena in which to adopt groundswell listening techniques. I spent an hour this morning "brand listening" to what the online world says about one of my favorite museums, the Exploratorium.

If we were musicians, we'd have the recordings and the sheet music. The whole process of developing an exhibition tends to get stuck behind a museum's doors. A community site in its truest sense, where anyone can post a review or case study. Reviews followed closely after. There's no sharing of that information.

In addition to the summary, the music director is blogging about on how the story can combine with some music and acting and singing to become a finished piece. This isn't the first time a classical music organization has turned to social media and crowdsourcing. I wonder if they will crowdsource the review? Here's Act 2.

Wendy has a very specific set of ground rules about how someone is supposed to approach the Love Tapes: first, by watching others to get the feel for it, then, recording their own (to background music of their choice), then, deciding whether to include it in the total collection, and finally, viewing their own tape as part of that collection.

Yeah, the Whaling Museum in New Bedford. I’ve been to the Whaling Museum in New Bedford. And then you may have something like scholarship funds, or the music fund, or something like that. Data quality review monthly of all accounts created. Steven: And it’s not 2:00 a.m. That’s right. Robin: Yes.
