A year ago, I wrote a post speculating about whether events (institutionally-produced programs) might be a primary driver for people to attend museums, with exhibitions being secondary. Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.

This morning, I checked in on the Pocket Museums on our museum's ground floor. After I took down all the "kick me" and "kick it" post-its covering the Pocket Museum title label in the men's room, I realized that this is the perfect example of an A-to-B test for gendered response to a participatory museum experience.

If you run a nonprofit museum, advocacy group, animal shelter or environmental protection organization, starting a summer camp could be a logical next step toward rewarding your members, donors and supporters. Almost any nonprofit that runs programs geared toward children could expand upon them in the form of a summer camp.

For years, I'd give talks about community participation in museums and cultural institutions, and I'd always get the inevitable question: "but what value does this really have when it comes to dollars and cents?"

Let's say your organization has a mission to increase X (art, healthy kids, clean water, community cohesiveness, etc.). Relative to other museums, I think we spend less time producing an "onstage" experience and more time collaborating with community organizations behind the scenes to empower them to produce.

It's not every day that a visitor buys pizza for everyone in the museum. Then again, Saturday was hardly normal at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.

There’s no history museum doing a send-up of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It also drove me nuts.

What forms of content delivery or participation might induce someone not just to read/look/listen but to care--and hopefully, to act? You have to care before you want to act, and caring--about the earth, about civil rights, about art--is not a given. No small task for a museum exhibition. How would you do it?

The presumed answer is "yes" your museum needs a blog, a pony, or a set of comfy couches. Does your museum need a custom online social network? Most social networking sites give each user a unique user profile, along with a personal "home base" where you can always find your content, your contacts, and your interests.
