In the final installment of Museum 2.0’s s four part series on comfort in museums, we get down to the basics: creature comfort. So for this last piece, we look at going the other way: making museums more physically comfortable. And on the walls, my friend explained, was art from the museum itself.

How can you make your museum website more effective in driving traffic and raising awareness of your institution? But there is a simpler, more impactful way for museum websites to become more visible, cited, and visited in the online landscape.

I've been thinking recently about the "why" behind encouraging social interactions among strangers in museums. After all, people visit museums in their own pods for a reason. There are two ways I think we can be using this in museums. First, I think we should support the proliferation of museum-based "I saw you's."
