Museum 2.0

JUNE 10, 2010

I spent last week working with staff at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) on ways to make this encyclopedic art museum more open to visitor participation across programs, exhibitions, and events. While there, I was lucky to get to experience a highly participatory exhibition that the MIA mounts once a decade: Foot in the Door.

I'm heading this weekend to the American Association of Museums conference in Minneapolis. Participatory history programming. Over the past year, we've found it fairly easy to invent and sustain participatory art and craft projects. (No relation to AAM. What role will exhibitions play in this kind of institution?

Last week, I was in Minneapolis for the American Association of Museums annual meeting. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise. As always, the conference was a party mix of inspiring and dull, familiar and new.
