Innovating in a museum or in the museum field is a team sport. None of us have all the resources, the knowledge or the connections to do it by ourselves. How many people does it take to bring Sebastian Chan to San Francisco to do a couple of free workshops on August 28th?… it takes a quite a few(save...

Back in November when the WMA program committee convened in San Diego to review session proposals, we took some time to discuss what ideas had been knocking around in our collective heads. What’s on the tip of our museological tongue, as it were. Many good sessions were born of that conversation, including On Board with Innovation, Weathering the Storm: Foundations Respond to the...

June is busting out all over! *humming*

Risk.
When I was 10 and he was 14, my older brother would follow me around wanting to play Risk. Ten-year-old me would shriek, "NO. It is boring. It takes forever. I never win."
I literally feared Risk, (conveniently brought to you by Hasbro), because I did not want to fail.

Slide from Maxwell Anderson's MW2009 pres. - "Help visitors apply that memory and empathetic response to everyday life"

There’s been a lot of back channel recently about the relevance and even necessity of professional conferences in this perpetually, overwhelmingly networked world.
So I thought this was a good forum to further the discussion. Of the blogs, colleagues and...

Thanks for this post Lydia. While I didn't get a chance to be there [#AAM09], I wonder whether anyone was talking about Pine and Gilmore's recent book: Authenticity: What Consumers Really Want.
Joe Pine & Jim Gilmore co-founded Strategic Horizons LLP to help executives see the world differently.
One of the points Pine and Gilmore make is that while audiences crave...

AAM 2009: The Museum Experiment is now history. In the weeks following big conferences like this, where ideas sizzle like Pop Rocks candy, it’s always interesting to see what sticks.

I was walking back from the Academy of Natural Sciences and saw this great sign. Who knew that Girl Scout cookies were a Philadelphia invention? Philly is the home to so much incredible history... plus local sites like Historic Yellow Springs allow you to get immersed in our nation's history. Yellow Springs has the only Revolutionary War Hospital...
