It is what it sounds like: a book of original sheet music, beautifully designed and complemented with artwork and text. In his thoughtful preface to this project, I reconnected with five lessons I''ve learned from participatory projects in museums and cultural sites. There are twenty songs in Song Reader. That''s expected.

I''ve been curious about this question for a long time. I''ve mostly seen museums employ one of two methods for formal community advisors: Create special "spots" on the board of trustees for certain kinds of community representatives. What''s the best way to get formal input from diverse community members?

She passed them out and the sound of shredding and crinkling paper filled the air. I’ve learned to do that and not only has it made the content we create better, but it’s also led to policy and structural change within our organization. I hesitantly opened mine and began to read. Are their voices being heard? Find your community.

I got my copy of the fall issue of Museums and Social Issues this week. The theme is "Civic Dialogue," and the journal includes articles on the historical, cultural, media, and museum practice of getting people talking to each other (including one by me about such endeavors on the web). A place many museums are not.

Audience segmentation and research has become a hot topic in museums, especially when it comes to crafting appealing offerings that are customized to different kinds of visitors. I sat down with Kristen Denner, Director of Membership and Annual Fund, to learn more about the program's development and the museum's goals for its future.

If someone asked you that question, how would you answer? Answers will differ depending on who's asking, but they are also influenced by the designed environment in which questions are asked. If someone asks you a question on Twitter, you can only respond with 140 characters. "Where were you last night?"

Last week, Jim Richardson and I hosted MuseumNext , a 24-hour workshop for museum professionals focused on bringing new, wild museum projects into the world. We also ended the entire event with one of my favorite exercises, the Exquisite Corpse game, in which participants co-created comics of their craziest museum dreams.

It's easier to secure grants for community-based programming or exhibitions, but it's not easy to get funding for some of the core work that museums do.

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. A creative fundraiser can make any of these items sound attractive to the donor. This can include museums, archives, galleries, etc. You just need to show proof of membership. You get the idea.

Ultimately, any approach to answering these questions is limited at some point by the size of the audience involved. We started with Clair de Lune by Debussy, which she loves, and a few other structured things that worked that way. The quest for relevance begins with knowing your audience. You have to generalize.

I've become convinced that successful paths to participation in museums start with self-identification. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge their uniqueness and validate their ability to connect with the museum on their own terms. Who is the "me" in the museum experience? Not so at museums.

Earlier this year, the New Museum and Creative Time commissioned a traveling piece by artist Jeremy Deller called "It Is What It Is: Conversations About Iraq." I saw It Is What It Is twice at the Hammer Museum. Why would I want to talk about Iraq on a visit to an art museum? Even for me, the barriers were too high.

At first listen, the book sounded like a childhood favorite of mine, The Eleventh Hour , a lavishly illustrated whodunit riddled with ciphers and a solution in a sealed envelope. Here's the problem I see with museum-based narratives and games: people don't revisit exhibits the way they revisit games. Not so with museums.

This interest stems back to the very beginning of the Museum 2.0 In October of 2006, I went to the Association of Science and Technology Centers conference and attended a "hot topics in exhibit design" roundtable where I first heard the question, "What would a wikimuseum be like?" And this is where the linguistics hits the museum.

Advertisements for the skull blanketed Amsterdam, and other museums even tried to get in on the buzz generated by its presentation. By positioning the feedback stations outside the flow of the museum (and within a solely skull-branded structure), the resultant videos were more topical and focused than museum standard.
