Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

DECEMBER 6, 2010

A month or two ago, museums and galleries around the world participated in a Twitter event called Ask a Curator. I asked Jim Richardson, who blogs at the Museum Next Blog and is the brainchild behind the event, a couple of questions: How did #askacurator come about? How did you get 340 museums to participate?

For instance, a large nonprofit focused on preserving arts and culture might segment its audience by location and focus its stories on the most well-known museums or cultural landmarks in a donor’s state. What is your donor’s giving history? Using giving history to steer donor segmentation is another effective approach.

I love alternative history novels. I was thinking I’d do a few alternative histories of museums for the first post of the last month of the decade. As I imagined a world without the many museum tech projects of the decade, I felt inherently sad about the imagining away the successes that friends and colleagues have enjoying.

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?

I've become convinced that successful paths to participation in museums start with self-identification. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge their uniqueness and validate their ability to connect with the museum on their own terms. Who is the "me" in the museum experience? Not so at museums.
