Designed to inspire generosity in children, members are mailed monthly postcards featuring nonprofits and then the family can listen to the impact of their giving through Alexa. It’s ideal for museums, zoos, and any place that accepts point-of-sale donations. Good for restaurants struggling during COVID-19 and nonprofits.

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. .

In 2010, the Children''s Museum of Tacoma was getting ready to move to a new, bigger facility. When they moved to the new facility, they decided they wanted to radically expand access to the museum, AND increase revenue. Consider the ongoing lawsuits at the Metropolitan Museum on this very issue.)

She was the first woman bookseller in Morocco. Over the time I corresponded with Jamila by email, she started becoming better known in Europe.

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.

A year ago, I wrote a post speculating about whether events (institutionally-produced programs) might be a primary driver for people to attend museums, with exhibitions being secondary. Many museums, big and small, thrive on events. At our museum, about 68% of casual visitors (non-school tours) attended through events this year.

I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.

Museum development officers and marketing professionals are all wondering if members of the Millennial generation (born after 1979) will support museums like our parents did.

After I took down all the "kick me" and "kick it" post-its covering the Pocket Museum title label in the men's room, I realized that this is the perfect example of an A-to-B test for gendered response to a participatory museum experience.
