Nina Simon and The Participatory Museum

Visitor participation is a hot topic in the contemporary world of
museums, art galleries, science centers, libraries and cultural
organizations. How can your institution do it and do it well? 

 

Nina Simon is an independent experience designer with expertise in
participatory design, gaming, and social technology. She is the
principal of Museum 2.0, a design firm that works with museums,
libraries, and cultural institutions worldwide to create dynamic,
audience-driven exhibitions and educational programs. 

 

Simon is an adjunct professor of social technology in the University of
Washington Museology program, and authors the influential Museum 2.0
blog <http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/> , which also appears as a column
in Museum magazine. She is also a member of the board of the National
Association of Museum Exhibitions in the US. 

 

Her new book, The Participatory Museum
<http://www.participatorymuseum.org/> , is a practical guide to working
with community members and visitors to make cultural institutions more
dynamic, relevant, essential places. Simon weaves together innovative
design techniques and case studies to make a powerful case for
participatory practice.
