Passionate experts and the Museums that avoid them at Museum 2.0.
A representative excerpt:
Museums don’t have a cheering section. As visitors walk through galleries, it’s easy to wonder: where does this stuff come from? Why is it here? Who cares? Museums do a decent job addressing the first two questions, but we rarely tackle the third. The use of an “objective” authoritative voice makes it hard for visitors to assign value or significance to items with which they don’t already have a connection.
