where i live
what i do balboa park online collaborative boston children’s museum calgary science center chabot space science center chicago history museum denver art museum experience music project girls math and science partnership international spy museum monterey bay aquarium oakland museum SFMOMA smithsonian museum of natural history statens museum for kunst tech museum of innovation
what i advocate the participatory institution is a place where visitors can create, share, and connect with each other around content.
in cultural institutions, that can mean... Cantor Art Center lower: Chicago Children’s Museum Minnesota History Center lower: Science Museum of Minnesota
THREE SURPRISING THINGS I’VE LEARNED ABOUT DESIGN FOR PARTICIPATION
LESSON 1: MORE SCAFFOLDING! MORE CONSTRAINTS!
Denver Art Museum
Denver Art Museum 90,000 visitors, 37,000 posters made average time spent making a poster: 25 minutes
GoMA
Find someone about your height to help you with this exhibit GoMA
Find someone aboutyour gender to help you with this exhibit Ask a stranger of your height do this activity with you GoMA
LESSON 2: PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN GIVEN DIFFERENT PROMPTS & INPUT MECHANISMS.
Lowell National Historical Park
“The percentage of ‘unrelated’ responses decreased from 58% (white cards) to 40% (blue cards), and ‘specific’ responses nearly doubled, from 28% (white) to 50% (blue).” http://www.participatorymuseum.org/ref3-16/
LESSON 3: RESPONSIVENESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
HOW CAN VISITORS MAKE THIS PROJECT BETTER?

“At first, I wasn't sure whether or not my responses were useful to anybody. It took a long time for any feedback to filter through. When it did come I really appreciated Nina's thanks and encouragement. That's what kept me coming back to the site.” http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2010/03/participatory-museum-process-part-2.html
HOW CAN VISITORS MAKE YOUR INSTITUTION BETTER?
