We’ve recently seen a slew of music award shows and individual musicians performing in hybrid concerts: the artist performs on a stage like normal, but to an empty venue, while that performance is streamed live to spectators at home. Quizzes based on music, TV shows, or sports are also frequently well received. 20) Book club.

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? All in one day.

Musical Instrument Museum. I grew up in a musical family, was fortunate enough to attend schools with excellent arts programs, majored in music in college, and still perform frequently today. I have had such a positive experience with music that I have been driven to share its joys with as many people as possible.

I have a confession to make: I've never cared much about museums on the Web. When smart people talk about digital museums and virtual experiences, I nod and compartmentalize it as someone else's bailiwick. And it breaks a lot of conventional rules about museum homepages. Is this the future of all museum websites?

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. However, using a donor’s geographic location in your segmentation strategy can open exciting new possibilities.
