Rainer Mack's Blog

Wow! I just returned from MW2012 and I'm still buzzing. I'm a museum educator, and not particularly savvy about things digital (thus do I post this here, not having a blog myself...). But I knew about Museums and the Web from colleagues, and because San Diego is close-by (I'm at the Getty in LA), this year seemed a good time to finally go. I'm glad I did. Not only did I discover much about things beyond my field, I learned a lot about things inside it. Issues of interpretation and experience, visitor engagement, the broader social role of museums, and other topics close to the heart of museum educators were explored in ways wonderfully refreshing, vital, and new.
