I wonder, could content expert staff such as astronomers, paleontologist, etc also be considered an "object" or "stuff" along with exhibits, artifacts, coffections? <BR/><BR/>Also, with regard to sharing objects how about the sharing of data too? This might work well were visitors compare their results from working various exhibits?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512407066027549164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-57227215274382402372008-10-04T05:53:00.000-07:002008-10-04T05:53:00.000-07:00Everyday objects are the key to socialiation betwe...Everyday objects are the key to socialiation between visitors. So are the objects that can be touched. I commend the museums that keep all the period objects behind glass as a means for preservation. However the interest only last but so long when an item is looked at. If the individual can touch the item, (push the button or open the draw) thier interrest of the object last longer by creating a longer time span with an object. This is done at children's museums, however interraction should be more of a focuse at art and history museums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-88414372840574585342008-09-27T04:13:00.000-07:002008-09-27T04:13:00.000-07:00All the five points which you have described its g...All the five points which you have described its good and i am agree with those points.

It was very social. I think a key ingredient is that Steiner uses everyday objects to create her scenes. The visitor isn't intimidated by her work or by commenting on it. It might be challenge to help visitors feel as comfortable with brand new subject matter or "high art" or other objects that they feel require expertise to interpret.qeoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
