Museum shops can and should be more than just walls of collection postcards and bins of branded pencils. With captive audiences, a link to the creative, and consistent footfall, shops in museums have ample opportunity to maximise retail potential by offering products that appeal to visitors and have a clear connection to collections. .

Marc van Bree and I were chatting about some of the collaborative arts marketing strategies that some arts organizations have experimented with on Twitter. Since there have been a few examples, I asked Marc if would write a post looking at some of these. How did you get 340 museums to participate? What was the objective?

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. Creative stuff: Things unique to your organization including the ability to create art, music, poetry, dance, etc. You just need to show proof of membership. It was super cool.

When you look at more niche nonprofits—like those focused on arts and culture —fundraising plays a critical role in enabling your organization to make a positive impact on their communities. The arts are important to modern culture and society, yet competition from other causes can encroach on the ability of your nonprofit to raise funds.

Once upon a time, there was a beloved children’s museum in the middle of a thriving city. The brilliant team at the museum set out to find a bigger space and ran a successful capital campaign to expand to a much larger location. Like the set of the movie Night at the Museum , these guests had the whole museum to themselves.

Two recent events have got me thinking about pranks and unauthorized activities in museums. Improv Everywhere staged an event at the Metropolitan Museum in which an actor posing as King Philip IV of Spain signed autographs in front of his portrait, as painted by Diego Velazquez in the 1620s. I feel like it's more complicated than that.

It gave me a chance to really think about how we have been opening up our museum and what it means for our community. Museums can be incredible catalysts for social change. We can change that by embracing participatory culture and opening up to the active, social ways that people engage with art, history, science, and ideas today.

Research and assessment is rare in the arts, and it tends to focus on "proving" our value. Studies of how arts participation affects student test scores. And given what I''ve seen on micro and macro-levels in arts funding and power, I don''t think this strategy is working. Economic impact studies. She needed money.
