Museum 2.0

North Carolina Museum of History 1988.39.4 I’m always amazed when my colleagues tell me that the biggest barrier they face to “opening up” the content at their museums is from registrars—the people who care for collection objects. But what about the potential creator who happens into an exhibit, gets an idea, and takes a picture?

This post is the third and final in a series of reactions to Blueprint , a book chronicling the rise and fall of the Dutch Museum of National History (INNL) in 2008-2011. We’d like to share some thoughts and ideas in this guest post. The Vending Machine project was one of my favorites; you can learn more about it here.

Story House Belvédère in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is a magical place. In its short existence (it opened in 2013), the place has made a name for itself as a successful community-driven, innovative cultural initiative. The neighborhood is a mix of people and communities by design and has a rich social history.

The never-quite-opened National History Museum of the Netherlands created an innovative vending machine for historic objects, which traveled to festivals and urban centers for people to add their memories. Maria Mortati runs the wonderful SF Mobile Museum , which roams the Bay Area showing mini-exhibits on evocative themes.

It was held in Newcastle in the north of England, and about 70 folks from around the world (but mostly Europe) came to play, learn, make stuff, and help each other work out challenges inherent in trying to make risky ideas happen. Thank you to everyone who came and helped co-create an exciting experimental event in a beautiful city.

We now have clients in Canada, US, UK, Australia and the Netherlands. Make your potential vendor prove they are open to data imports and exports without having to purchase expensive additional APIs. I think the campaign or event idea itself is at least as important--if not more important--than the technology.
