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. Adults had as much fun as the children. It was tiny and well-loved. Admirable goal.

Conservation: Objects may be damaged by flash photography. Yes, some people (especially vocal museum staff!) But what about visitors?

But what about arts organizations or museums? What about schools or conservation causes? For example, let’s say you’re a local children’s theater company. You are in an affluent neighborhood, so typically the children are not at risk. It’s true – conflict is less recognizable and lower stakes for certain causes.

The exhibition or program is of high quality, and from the visitor perspective, it may look like museum as usual. Last week I saw a powerful example of this at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg in their exhibition for children under five. In some ways, this is a good thing.

No small task for a museum exhibition.

It's Labor Day, and across the country, a working dichotomy is manifest in museums. For mostly practical reasons, museum staff offices have shifted over the last couple decades further and further from the public. Arguably, much of what happens behind the scenes at museums has little bearing on the visitor experience and vice versa.

Relative to other museums, I think we spend less time producing an "onstage" experience and more time collaborating with community organizations behind the scenes to empower them to produce. Our museum is growing, and I'm always weighing different ways to expand our impact. I feel great about this approach.

It's late at night at the Museum Curator smackdown. Museum folks often talk about the time decades ago when museums began to shift from places for objects to places for visitors. My background is in science and children's museums, where it's relatively easy to keep visitors in the foreground. Is the fix in?
