Museum 2.0

AUGUST 29, 2012

Earlier this month, the Detroit Institute of Arts was "saved" by a voter-approved property tax (called a "millage") in its three surrounding counties. Residents in the three counties that pay the millage will receive special benefits : free admission to the museum and expanded educational programming. Vote with your money instead."

You run a regional museum. This is the plan that plunged the Berkshire Museum into hot water. In July, the Berkshire Museum released its $60,000,000 New Vision , along with a funding mechanism: selling 40 of its most valuable artworks. It states that museums can only sell objects to purchase or care for other objects.

I’ve long been interested in the intersection between maker culture and museums. It’s worth mentioning that the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit also hosted a Maker Faire at their facility this year. After the tour, the group came back to NYSCI and we had a brainstorm… let’s just do it in the museum. Why at NYSCI?
