Abstract:

From their beginning, museums have adopted a wide range of approaches and business models for collecting and exhibiting, from non-profit to for-profit, from public to private, and from community to individual visions. With its arguably unique and often controversial format, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) has reopened intense discussions and debates among museum professionals, the press and the public at large about some of the key issues underlying the business of museums: audience engagement, experience design, ethics, branding and marketing, interpretation and sustainability. Join this roundtable discussion with representatives from MONA, its mobile interpretation solutions developers, and leading museum professionals from around the world to ask what museums of all kinds can learn from new approaches to these important topics.

Abstract

In our massively connected world content is indeed king and museums if they take a close look, will find themselves, well placed to deliver highly sought after content to an ever expanding audience. Collaboration is emerging as the critical enabler in taking full advantage of the opportunities now available for the delivery of museum online content. Collaboration needs to be both internal and external. The number and quality of national data services now operating is making museum content available for researchers and the public in numbers and types unimaginable only a few years ago. The ground work is laid in most large museums to allow them to participate in providing access to the full range and wonder possible in museum generated content.
