This "museum" (if the word "museum" meant "advertising ploy") is to culture what the Kardashians are to culture. Shallow and disposable.

- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoAs someone who works for an "accredited" museum, it does hurt to see our valued word rendered meaningless. But this article also has a valuable lesson for us. She is giving people what they want. People really want to have meaningful interactions with the spaces they pay to visit. Institutional museums really have need to up their interactivity game to the point so that they provide much more than a "photo opportunity". That is the only answer to this type of chesse. But as it stands, many younger people feel they get more value from taking a picture next to a giant sandwich, than they do from something like the Met. The Facebook likes they get from that picture reinforce this belief even more. What if the next time you got an "audio tour" it wasn't just an audio recording, but a game with a giant leader board in the front lobby? Museums need to give customers something they can share to feel special too!
