This is the final segment in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This posts explains why and how I self-published The Participatory Museum. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to license The Participatory Museum using Creative Commons and give away the content for free online. Why Self-Publish?

Last month, student Nicole Robert wrote about the concept for Advice: Give it, Get it, Flip it, Fuck it. Below are three things I learned from the Advice exhibit and will take with me into future work. In the end, the Advice exhibit offered four main experiences--two that were facilitated, and two that were unfacilitated.

The best way I can really push my own participatory practice and thinking is to operate an institution and work with a community I care about over time. I also believe that small and mid-sized museums are the leaders when it comes to innovation, particularly around participatory engagement. We'll need advice. We'll need interns.

You get the sense reading the question that someone needs your advice, and if you've figured something out that works for you and your child, you want to share. This is a participatory comment board in a true sense. to figure out what resources to stock in the Nursery's library in its next iteration. What's the next step?

I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. My goals are two-fold: to develop a dynamic, creative, social platform for my community and to distribute its successful elements to other civic learning institutions (museums, libraries, community centers).

Image via State Library of Queensland (an institution I love). I'm still close with some of the very first people to read the blog--strangers whose comments, encouragement, and advice have guided me for more than a decade. You gave me support as I struggled to lead a museum through a participatory rebirth. Museum 2.0
