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: http://artparticipation.it/libri-the-participatory-museum 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. Hi Nina,

I've posted a review on amazon and my own own blog: http://www.claireantrobus.com/2010/04/18/book-review-the-participatory-museum-by-nina-simon/ 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 Claire Hi Nina

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

These human-nature features may be enhanced in our cultural centers by developing participatory projects. The Participatory Museum offers a doable recipe illustrated through many best practices from around the world. A model of participation process itself during the final writing phase, this book of Nina Simon, written in her ususal bright & witty style, invites the reader to effectively plan and develop truly participatory experiences. We become richer of ideas after its reading. Then it's up to us putting them into practice.
