Museum 2.0

OCTOBER 3, 2012

This Black History Month, we reflect on the strategy work that our team does through our partnership with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture —much of which centers around expanding access.

Radiolab does what I hope all great museum exhibitions can do--take a deep topic and make it compelling on many levels. Which brings me to museums and how we present content. Could you imagine a curator, designer, or museum educator speaking this way about an exhibition? Why is there lots of snow if global warming is happening?

Every museum has a number for its operating cost per visitor. Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs.
