What do Millennials want from a museum experience? Museum development officers and marketing professionals are all wondering if members of the Millennial generation (born after 1979) will support museums like our parents did.

To honor Pickens’ lifetime giving to OSU of $650 million, a museum focused on his legacy is being constructed inside the school’s Boone Pickens football stadium. The university renamed its Graduate School of Arts and Sciences after Griffin, an almost unheard-of honor for an alum at the 386-year-old school.

There are many exchanges to find NFTs and each one tends to specialize in different types of art or styles. What’s more, artists will continue to get a percentage of the future sales of that NFT art into the future. The NFT is the result of a partnership with the Muhammad Ali Center, a museum dedicated to Ali’s life.

While I always recommend you let donors know you are not in the business of offering professional legal or financial advice, and they should consult with their own advisors, this doesn’t mean you can’t inform people about changes in the law. Put this information on your website. Final Note. But also be aware these laws are always changing.

How do you help visitors know what they can and cannot do in your museum? Most museums have this figured out: they have signs, they have guards, they have cases over the objects. And this works pretty well in science museums, where designers talk about "hardening" exhibits to withstand the more aggressive touchers among us.

When talking about active audience engagement with friends in the museum field, I often hear one frustrated question: how can we get adults to participate? In children's museums and science centers, this relationship is at its most extreme. And yet in the museum world, we still see interactives as being mostly for kids.

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? Some of the most popular are LinkedIn (a professional network), Facebook (social and professional), and MySpace (anything goes). Why might a museum create its own social network?
