Lessons Learned 3: This is not a museum talking (what a relief!) Being a museum must be exhausting – you have to know so much and speak so carefully. In GISKIN, Pandora and Drake aren’t museum people: they have no special knowledge; they ask the same questions the audience is asking and don’t always get answers.

For years, I've been fascinated and a bit perplexed by the Elsewhere Collaborative , a thrift store turned artists' studio/living museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Our archeology did not aim to uncover the hidden voice of my grandmother, but instead to begin an ongoing practice of recreation.

The Leading Change Summit was more intimate (several hundred people), participatory and interactive, intense, and stimulating. I designed this exercise after a delightful experience visiting the Barnes Foundation Museum where the art work is hung on the wall in a way to facilitate pattern recognition and learning about art concepts.

Yesterday, I had the delightful opportunity to participate in the 3six5 project , a yearlong participatory project in which 365 people write 365 journal entries for every day of 2010. It showcases diverse voices. Participating in this made me wonder: could a museum or library run a project like 3six5?
