Song Reader didn''t come as a CD, or an LP, or a bunch of digital audio files.

I've become convinced that successful paths to participation in museums start with self-identification. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge their uniqueness and validate their ability to connect with the museum on their own terms. Who is the "me" in the museum experience? Not so at museums.

Going to MAH and seeing the LOVE exhibition on First Friday was a wonderful experience. It was fascinating to see people--across social differences--responding to representations of love in the paintings, images, objects and narratives that were part of the installation. We've continued to do this for future exhibitions.

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. Museums are creating “walled gardens,” and it hurts online visibility and impact.

How can you design museum spaces so that exhibits and artifacts become social objects--things that people want to share with each other? Jyri suggests that more nebulous social networks, like LinkedIn or Facebook, can only succeed if and when objects are at the foundation of the experience. This is great news for museums.
