Thank you for the examples and ideas in your book which is very useful in my job as a museums professional – and also for other with interest in approaching and recognizing museum audiences in new ways.
For the Scandinavian language readers there is here a review – in Danish – of The Participatory Museum in my museum focused blog:

Thank you for your hard work! I am a business and user experience consultant working in cultural and art related projects and I enjoyed your book. I wrote a review here in our collaborative blog related to 2.0 and participatory experiences in art and culture. It is in Italian, however here is the link:

Shortly, what I wrote about your bok is that business and strategy-minded consultants will appreciate it, because you give a lot of hints about the “behind-the-scenes” of the cases you present, and this helps me in building upon your (giant) shoulders and evaluating methodological, competence and process issues in museum organizations. And… I really enjoyed the “antiboredom team” idea.

I finished reading the book last week and really enjoyed it. I’ve posted a review on amazon and my own own blog:

It’s given me plenty to think about – both in terms of museums and galleries – but also in across my professional life.

Thanks a million
