Museums and the Web Group News. This is Day 6 from the Diary of a Russian museum curator. In my head right away arise lines from school assays in English and German languages, when in 20 sentences I had to tell about my usual order of the day. Always didn’t like this task, hypocritical till stupefaction, because everybody would end up with the same essays, following the same schema, and of course, nobody ever lived according to this mythical order of the day. But having rejected my previous sad experience, I am trying to describe my museum day. Period before 9 am, before the time, when from an ordinary citizen of Russia I transform into a museum lady, I will probably skip. So, by 9 am I arrive at my work place. In my dear room, there are 5 desks, but due to unstandardized working week, usually in the room sit 3-5 people. On my desk I have lots of things: a notebook, a plastic organizer for paper, a loose-leaf calendar, a old mug with pencils, an onyx bull – like all Tauruses I don’t like disorder.
Like this: Museum 3 - what will the museum of the future be like? Using Your Audience as Exhibit Designers. Last week, Barbara Stauffer shared with us the challenges of orchestrating a participatory design experience in an institution with well-established organizational procedures and hierarchies.
For her, inviting the input of over 800 community members involved a lot of time, finesse, diplomacy and sensitivity to organizational culture. Maria Mortati, project manager and senior exibit developer at Gyroscope Inc., took a different tack, founding the San Francisco Mobile Museum, giving her the freedom to experiment with many ways of making the audience part of the museum design experience. Working and PlayingIn 2009, I was a museum exhibit developer in search of an audience. I had tested out an exhibit at a Maker Faire a year prior, had fun and learned a lot. Serving 60,000 people in 2 days is a great way to try something on for size. During my work travels the following year, I met Jaime Kopke, founder of the Denver Community Museum. What’s next?

OpenCulture » Blog Archive » A Difficult Conversation. And so it was that I found myself in the warm fug of the day before Christmas Eve visiting some friends of friends. There, in a group of 15 or so professional, intelligent, educated and culturally-engaged people, the topic turned to my profession and the current economic climate. And almost from the off, the conversation was profoundly disturbing.
These are not luddites, or militant Tories, or rapacious anti-museum campaigners. These are professional parents approaching middle age, from all walks of life. Their view, which was held in common by at least two thirds of the people there, is that museums are broadly a Good Thing, but that we have simply failed to keep pace with the expectations or patterns of modern life. The conversation turned to the museum experience, and I found myself being grilled about why museums are satisfied to deliver a physical experience that is so profoundly dull (their words, not mine). Now why am I blogging this?
We are. What can the iPad do for museums? | MuseumNext. Even though it is still only a few short years since the introduction of multi-touch technology in the first iPhones, already we have become familiar with the way that communications devices seamlessly integrate the internet’s vast information resources and social media networks. High-end interaction technologies are now so commonplace that many of us carry them around in our pockets all day long. And with the rise of smartphone apps, we now routinely expect these products to be endlessly adaptable and updatable. For museums and galleries looking for new and inspiring ways to generate interactions between visitors and collections, this democratisation of technology is perhaps both a blessing and a curse.
On the one hand, visitors are no longer wowed by touch-screen and computer software installations per se. On the other hand, the availability of adaptable, mass-market products gives museums easy access to cleverer hardware for less money. TEDxToronto - Neil Pasricha "The 3 A's of Awesome".
