Some, like the Wing Luke and the Oakland Museum (see chapter 8), are definitely participatory, but my long-time favorites--Jurassic Technology, City Museum, Visionary Art--are more notable for the singular (and strange) vision of their brilliant founders. That said, each of these institutions treats visitors generously, as partners in crime if not in co-creation. But if we're talking favorite museums from a professional impact perspective, it's places like COSI (Chapter 5), Brooklyn Museum (chapter 3), and Glasgow Open Museum (chapter 4), which are really changing the way communities and museums interrelate. With regard to your second question, check out <a href="http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-different-types-of-museums-approach.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post,</a> which focuses on just that topic of how participatory opportunities vary by institutional type. @Nicole Ferdinando: My favorite museums as a visitor are driven mostly by nostalgia and pleasure in institutions that take big risks.

First, I wanted to know what your favorite museum was in terms of collection, content or thematic program, etc. Does this particular museum exhibit some of the the qualities enumerated in your book as being an example of a participatory museum. If not, does this particular museum have the potential to be a participatory museum in the future? Second, which type of institution (size, focus, location) seem the most resistant to adopting participatory activities?
