If you had to found a museum, what would it be about?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 30, 2009:

A portable museum.  And why not?

It might be a better solution than what we have today, when museums struggle to find a strategy to fit into a community.

So is strategy dead?

Just live the strategy and ditch the 5-year plan.


Right now, the world is unpredictable.  The economic outlook is uncertain.  The world has changed.

If old-style strategy is not exactly dead, then it is hardly in the best of health.

The assumption that ALL MUSEUMs are tied to their present location is worth questioning.

GRAND-VISIONS have been filed away in some drawer or forgotten or rolled-up into a ball, until things are less scary, but that does little to prepare us for the future.

So process relevant data "signals"---can you say Gaia.com--- quickly and react to them.

VISION---is more about free flowing like this blog I'm writing today.

I'd like "future thinking" MUSEUMS and museum organizations to "live the strategize" (as opposed to just philosophize) on how to listen to "museum fans" rather than just "museum visitors." Because in that regard, sports teams have left museums far, far behind.

Portable Museum anyone?
