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. .

I've written about different structures for participatory processes (especially in museums), and recently, I've been interested in how we can apply these structures to the design of public space. Children are easy to applaud, and easy to ignore. An example is a literally secret garden/ landscape that adults are not aware of.

When talking about active audience engagement with friends in the museum field, I often hear one frustrated question: how can we get adults to participate?
