Residents in the three counties that pay the millage will receive special benefits : free admission to the museum and expanded educational programming. I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts. Rebuttal: none.

What role does “promoting human happiness” play in the mission statements and actions of museums? That’s the question I’m pondering thanks to Jane McGonigal and the Center for the Future of Museums (CFM). Earlier today, the CFM offered a free webcast of Jane McGonigal’s talk on gaming, happiness, and museums.

This week marks one month of live activity for the Tech Virtual Museum Workshop , a collaborative, online platform for exhibit development. But museum folks, no matter how much we want to collaborate, don't move quickly. Why not apply the same attitude to our own staff? A month ago, I invited you to join this project.

Most museum conferences are focused on professional learning and networking. In most sessions, I didn't learn new things to apply to my own museum practice; instead, I learned new things about what that practice looks like in different countries. And these conversations weren't exclusive to the program events.

It’s an uncomfortable truth which is forcing me to examine my arguments for inclusivity, access, and populism in museums. I realize that I have more frequently advocated for Yellowstone-style museums than Grand Teton-style ones. It’s acceptable for me to only respect the parkgoers and services that reflect my values.

This week, thoughts on Chapter 12 of Elaine Gurian’s book Civilizing the Museum , "Threshold Fear: Architecture program planning." In this essay, Elaine discusses the various barriers to entry for non-traditional visitors to museums, that is, the threshold fear that keeps such potential visitors from walking in our doors.

What does your museum have to say about it? What do visitors expect of museums, and what do museums expect of themselves, when it comes to timeliness? This is partially driven by museums, which want to be seen as "forums" for discourse, but also by the expectations of a media-saturated public. Pluto just got demoted.

Was it a museum professional or an outsider? I'm kneedeep in the final run-up to the opening of Operation Spy at the Spy Museum, but in the fleeting moments between disasters and near-disasters, I'm thinking about AAM. Several were created or conceived by a single person, often an artist/non-museum professional.

Welcome to the second in the four-part series on comfort (and its boundaries) in museums, a day late but just as tasty. I came out of it truly amazed by the power of the museum—not just to elicit laughter, but also to induce bizarre and voluntary acts of silliness in front of and with strangers. By sending people on missions.

The exhibition of the art pre-decision exposes people to the art and creates buzz around the prize, and, more importantly, it brings museum visitors into the decision process. Nick Serota, the Tate's director, commented that "'the public display of four artists' work spurs people to reflect about art.'" Projects.

In museums, attention to the visitor--her desires, his preferences--has grown over the last few decades. Reading all of the responses, I was surprised to see that the vast majority (not reflected here) threw their audience out the window as a perceived obstacle to truly innovative design thinking. Usable art.

Pick a drastic change of attitude at the work day. But when I reflected, I noticed more people approached me to talk. Don’t believe me? If you don’t generally smile, spend one day deciding you will smile at everyone you see. Come home and write down how your day went. I did this exactly experiment recently. I decided to walk slow.

Museum work includes many intellectual labors that draw on deep reserves of knowledge and years of experience. They weren’t similar in temperament or attitude. Understanding work, time, and efficiency in museums aren’t easy or universal. Museums have a lot of tasks that are terrible dates. Some people can just write.

We didn’t have explicit criteria for selection—it came down to whether a piece was outstanding and reflected the theme. There was a “let’s make it happen” attitude that I think was really appealing. The CMS tabulated how many times each submission was read. We made sure everything was read three to five times.

What’s in the crystal ball for museums and libraries? The IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services) has commissioned a preliminary proposal for an NAS (National Academy of Sciences) report on museums and libraries in the 21st century. What are the essential differences and similarities between libraries and museums?
