It's rare that a participatory museum project is more than a one-shot affair. But next month, Britain Loves Wikipedia will commence--the third instance of a strange and fascinating collaborative project between museums and the Wikipedia community (Wikimedians). I hope you'll share your thoughts in the comments.

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months.

Five years ago, I wrote a post arguing that museum photo policies should be as open as possible. I believe that the ability to take photographs (no flash) in a museum greatly increases many people''s abilities to personalize, memorialize, and enjoy the experience. The posts come from an aptly-named blog: Grumpy Art Historian.
