Museum 2.0

FEBRUARY 13, 2007

The story of Peter Pan is well-known, but it's just as unique for its tone as its content. But it's not so easy to integrate into larger-scale museum writing. The key is not to write the story/label/instructions. Have you ever walked someone, a non-museum professional, through an exhibition you have or are working on?

One of the best parts of developing a book is learning new stories. For me, the early stage of writing a book is a treasure hunt--an excuse to seek out new examples and ideas that strengthen the story. Ravon and Amanda are using several social media channels to explore and share museum exhibitions, programs, and projects.

And that got me thinking about how bad museums are at doing the same thing--using passion to promote visitor engagement in new content. Museums shy away from presenting passionate views.

But I’d been scribbling notes for an art museum label post for awhile, and then yesterday, the NY Times had a review of a new show at MOMA, Comic Abstraction. MOMA has standard art museum labels. When I asked an art museum educator about this (“How should I look at art?”) Should you read it like a story? Is this enough?

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.

This post is the third and final in a series of reactions to Blueprint , a book chronicling the rise and fall of the Dutch Museum of National History (INNL) in 2008-2011. How is the exhibit living on at the museum and what is it like to take over someone else’s project? We’d like to share some thoughts and ideas in this guest post.

In 1990, educator and cultural critic Neil Postman described a museum as "an answer to a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a human being?" Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. Welcome to Pine Point is not a museum project.
