A museum consultant and author believes that cultural institutions can grow their audiences through shared experimentation and becoming more participatory and audience-centered. She has been called a "museum visionary" for this approach. In her presentation, she discusses how museums can become more engaging, community-based, and vital institutions.
Sharlene Edwards, Program Director, Bradley Public Library (NJ)
There is no avoiding it: the library landscape has been changing. We are dealing with slashed budgets and insufficient staffing while attempting to meet an increased need for innovative library programming. As librarians from small libraries, we may be reluctant to shake things up with new ideas because of the high price of failure. So how do we stay relevant in the 21st century? This presentation is a how-to guide for utilizing local resources, establishing valuable community partnerships, and decreasing costs while increasing participation in fresh, fearless, and affordable library programming.

Folklore Museums of today: Make them Come Alive! - Victoria Pervizou, Histori...WeAreMuseums
The Historical and Folklore Museum of Nikiti aims to showcase the history and culture of the village of Nikiti through a collection of over 1,500 objects. However, the museum faces challenges of limited resources, funding, and communication. To address this, temporary art installations were set up outside the museum to promote it, attracting visitors who then shared about their experiences online. Partnering with local businesses for events like open-air cinema and concerts helped increase awareness of the museum in innovative ways. Continued engagement with the community is needed to establish sustainable solutions for these initial challenges.
The purpose of museums is to enable all visitors to enjoy its collections and to learn. Although programs for visitors with visual impairment have appeared in developed countries, it does not seem that much has been done to integrate this group into the museum audience. Museum staff had to consider the different learning needs of visitors and consult with members of the community to gain a better understanding of what needs to be changed in order to make their museum accessible to visitors with different abilities. However, it has also been suggested that inclusive practices can be achieved through the use of Universal Design. According to McGinnis (2007), Universal Design means that exhibitions and programs would have to be designed so that everyone was able to use them. This article aims to analyze the accessibility of museums in Skopje to visitors with visual impairments, with a particular focus on how they can become more inclusive.
The document discusses marketing strategies for attracting international tourists to the National Museum in Delhi. It begins with definitions of tourism and discusses the museum's market research findings. Interviews with 20 international tourists found that the most attention-grabbing exhibits were Buddhist relics and miniatures. Suggestions included improving lighting, signage, and adding audio guides in more languages. Stakeholders like the Ministry of Tourism and travel agencies could partner with the museum. The museum undertakes modernization and outreach projects like exhibitions, and could increase social media and website translations to expand its international brand.
The National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam underwent a reinvention from 2014-2016 which included developing new exhibitions, programs, and strategies focused on different audience groups. The museum's exhibition strategy involved creating different formats and atmospheres in different areas of the building to appeal to families, students, specialists, and other traditional museum visitors. Evaluation found the new approach increased visitation and satisfaction levels, though budget cuts and competition from other reopening museums impacted attendance. Temporary exhibits on slavery and life at sea helped attract diverse audiences. Future plans include augmented reality experiences and programs using the nearby Navy Dockyard.
The document discusses the role of Zimbabwean museums, specifically the Zimbabwe Military Museum, in creating national identity during the post-colonial era. It finds that the museum's collections, themes, events, and displays still pursue colonial ideologies and have done little to address national identity. The research aims to evaluate how well the museum portrays Zimbabwean identity and determines audiences' perceptions of its role in nation-building. It concludes that if the museum does not take steps to reduce colonial influences in its exhibitions, audiences will continue disengaging from its activities.
The document discusses making museum collections more accessible to the public. It analyzes survey responses from museums on current access to their stored collections and barriers to increasing access. The top 20% of museums in terms of user numbers actively promote their collections through websites, talks and outreach activities. Users report positive experiences when staff are helpful but also frustrations with lack of information and response from some museums. The document considers strategies museums use to increase access and engagement with collections.

Block 1.1: Building connectivities through institutions.
Susanne Boersma & Elisabeth Tietmeyer (Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Germany): Collaboration and incorporation of vulnerable groups in professional participatory memory work.
The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) is an independent, non-profit museum dedicated to promoting the appreciation and preservation of cultural diversity in Lao PDR. Like most museums, TAEC maintains a collection of artefacts, curates exhibitions, and promotes scholarship and learning through research and outreach activities. However, TAEC is also a museum representing living cultures in a developing country context, and as such faces a unique set of challenges for which it has developed specific approaches.
In a country with low education levels and a lack of museum and non-traditional learning opportunities, simply drawing in Lao visitors and creating a meaningful experience for them requires creativity and active visitor management. TAEC has developed a range of activities for children visiting the museum and also conducts sessions in schools to broaden its reach. Attracting adults has remained more elusive. To facilitate the building of further cultural heritage resources in Laos, TAEC conducts capacity-building activities for government staff of museums, NGO workers, and tourism professionals.
TAEC’s most challenging but meaningful objective is to promote cultural pride and revitalisation within ethnic minority communities themselves. TAEC has explored approaches including an ethnic minority intern programme, collaborative exhibition development with villages, and an ethnic cultural festival. Recognising that rural ethnic communities are amongst Laos’ poorest populations, TAEC also runs a handicrafts development programme, generating income for over 600 artisans in 11 provinces of the country.
TAEC views all these approaches (and others) as part of its education and advocacy programmes, and crucial to the sustainability of the organisation, its mission, and cultural heritage management itself. The challenge is how to progress from simply educating local populations to understand and value the idea of cultural diversity, to adopting the task of fostering cultural diversity, and finally, to taking leadership in their own communities to tackle their specific cultural heritage issues through home-grown approaches.
This document provides an introduction to museology, the study of museums. It discusses the objectives of museums in preserving history and heritage. Museology examines the development of museums and their role in education. Museums curate displays to tell stories and educate audiences. Research in museology explores how museums appeal to diverse audiences and adapt to social changes. Historically, museums emerged from private collections being made public for educational purposes. Tourism has also influenced museums to remain engaging experiences. Museology studies how museums can best communicate with and satisfy visitors.
Sally Stuudio was founded in Estonia in 1991 to support art education and awareness. It has two main divisions: an art school and an art awareness center. The art school teaches approximately 200 children, young adults, and adults per year using contemporary art methods to develop creative and critical thinking skills. It aims to integrate contemporary art practices into lessons and connect students to the current art world through exhibitions, artist talks, and other activities. The art awareness center provides information on art events and inspiration for art-making through talks and workshops.
The Community Gallery at the People's History Museum exhibits projects created by community groups that relate to the museum's mission of telling ordinary people's histories. Groups apply to exhibit every 6-12 weeks and the museum provides curatorial and technical support. Exhibits have included projects by art students, artists working with communities, and groups commemorating historical events. The gallery benefits the museum by attracting new audiences and deepening engagement with local histories, though managing community partnerships requires staff time. Future plans include improving the space and developing a community exhibition funder.

1. EDUCATION FOR ALL – THE FACT AND CHALLENGES
FOR VIETNAMESE WOMEN’S MUSEUM
Le Thi Thuy Hoan
The Vietnamese Women’s Museum
2. 1. Question
Attracting visitors is one of the most common concerns of
Vietnamese museums, especially when museums face the
challenges of a budget and the competition from the variety
of other choices for people to visit. Education for all is the
slogan for all museums in Vietnam and the Vietnamese
Women’s Museum in particular.
3. 2. Brief introduction about Vietnamese
Women’s Museum
Located in the center of Hanoi, only 5 minutes walking from
Hoan Kiem lake
Established in 1987 as a part of The Vietnamese Women’s
Union
Officially opened to public in 1995
Closed to renovate in 2006
Reopened in 2010
The museum presents the cultural diversity of Vietnam and the
significant contribution of Vietnamese women to the country.
7. 3. Education in the Museum
The Vietnamese Women’s Museum considers education as
an important function in museum’s activities. We have
made considerable efforts to improve education in different
ways as follows:
8. 3.1. Renovate the permanent exhibition
After 11 years being opened to public, annual visitor’s
numbers showed that the Museum failed to meet different
needs of visitors. It was closed in 4 years from 2006 to 2010
for the renovation with the budget from Vietnam
Government and the sponsorship from FORD Foundation.
It was reopened in October 2010 in order to offer better
services to visitors.
11. 3.2. Renovate special exhibitions
Special exhibitions are good chances to develop the
relationship with the community
Renovate special exhibitions in different ways such as:
-Approach social contemporary issues;

27. 4. Challenges
4.1. Challenges in legal framework
Legally museums are not considered as an educational
institution in Vietnam
Some parts in the exhibitions are out of date, politically
exhibited, lack of interactive activities.
28. 4.2. Other challenges
The Museums hasn’t met the needs of the public due to: lack
of finance and advanced knowledge; administrative
regulations are too complicated and restrictive .
People’s habit: visiting museums is not a regular activity for
the general public; they are reluctant to accept the fee.
Gender’s discrimination: men or even young boys consider the
museum is a place for women and girls only.
29. 5. Solutions
Professional development of staff
Building partnerships

more interactive and closely relate to daily life.

of museum.

interactive
