Museum 2.0

APRIL 25, 2011

In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

A quick top five list of amazing experiences in no particular order: ArtPrize , the democratic art festival in Grand Rapids that blew my mind Taiwan. Dear Museum 2.0 readers, 2010 was a big year for me. Everything about it. Especially the stinky tofu.
