24. Participation

25. The museum:
• Creates multi-directional
content experiences.
• Serves as a “platform” that
connects different users
who act as content
creators, distributors,
consumers, critics, and
collaborators

26. The museum:
• Designs experiences that
invite ongoing audience
participation sustainably
• Offer every visitor a
legitimate way to contribute
to the institution, share things
of interest, connect with other people,
and feel like an engaged and respected
participant.

28. From digital…
…to post-digital

29. Some challenges:
1. Digital transformation on the agenda
at the management level
2. Merge digital with existing museum
practices
3. Prioritizing new work practices
4. Mapping the transformation (what is
the next step?)
