Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far.

The more voices there are in the mix, the more the community management team can effectively welcome community members of all kinds. This is a problem.

Traditional exhibition design, in which the museum has a specific story or message to tell, doesn't easily accommodate visitor co-creation. But there are other times when the message isn't simple, and in those cases, visitor voices can help strategically shape multi-dimensional exhibitions. But that's for another conversation.
