A new company in New York, Museum Hack , is reinventing the museum tour from the outside in. They give high-energy, interactive tours of the Metropolitan Museum and the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). The tours are pricey, personalized, NOT affiliated with the museums involved… and very, very popular.

Or maybe hello museum world! Previously, I had worked at the same museum for 17 years.) So, when you visit more than 300 museums, parks, and historic sites, what do you learn? This week, I wanted to start with us, museum and cultural workers. Hello World! The metaphor certainly works in terms of filling big shoes.

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. I've long admired this museum for its all-encompassing commitment to community co-creation , and the visit was a kind of pilgrimage to their new site (opened in 2008). I'm always a bit nervous when I visit a museum I love from afar. What if it isn't what I expected?

Is your museum running on interns? It is a strong, museum-focused complement to an excellent three-parter on Createquity about the ethics and future of unpaid arts internships. I got my first real job in a museum (at the Guggenheim) after a life-changing internship. It''s probably a path you had to navigate too.

Museums can have a hard time soliciting smaller dollar annual gifts tied to mission, rather than a new exhibit, and this is a great place to turn the focus to why donor support matters. Pi Day, celebrating math and science, is the Museum’s signature day of giving.

At first glance, our new book, The Convivial Museum , is about the most simple ideas. That's why we've included so many voices and perspectives in this book. And that's where this book comes in.

I can understand why somebody interested in museums wouldn't want to cover ground on health sector management. I also understand why somebody interested in health care wouldn't want to know the ins and outs of museums. Both hospitals and museums rely to some extent on fundraising, giving rise to a cadre of fundraising professionals.

I believe that the museum blogosphere is still underdeveloped and there's lots of room for people to share their inspiration, experience, and ideas. I hope next year at this time, all six on this list will still be going strong and accompanied by a chorus of new voices. The Museum of the Future. Asking Audiences. Poesy-Praxis.
