💡 How to reconcile hospitality, openness with a written museum's visit policy and safety standards? ➡ How to explicitly incorporate certain essential points (which ones?) while avoiding creating a list of "do nots"? ➡ What are the essential and regulatory points to express explicitly, while avoiding a series of injunctions and "do nots"? ➡ How to deconstruct a list of presupposed prohibitions internalized, especially by those furthest from the culture (expected attitudes...)?

Have you ever been on a museum tour and just felt overwhelmed with all the information being presented? The Nieuwe Institute in Rotterdam has come up with an intriguing solution that reimages the museum tour. They have transformed their traditional tours into more engaging experiences through the use of what they call "Detour Guides". These guides, often creatives such as DJs, graphic designers, architects, storytellers, and performers, are empowered to share their unique perspectives with museum visitors. We love how this concept is redefining the way information about the museum is presented, bringing in different experiences and perspectives. #NewVisitors #VisitorExperience #TrendsInMuseums #EngagingAudiences #TheNetherlands #therevelsoffice #cultureisacatalyst #culture #culturalorganisations #galleries #businesschallenges #audiences #strategy #partnerships #transformassets #newrevenuestreams #visitorattraction #experiencestrategy #revitaliseartts #collaborate

Museums and galleries are magical portals to history, culture, and imagination. But as we bring these experiences online, are we including everyone? We still have a long way to go with accessibility for Blind visitors. Did you know that 64% of museum homepages have missing alt text and 88% of museum social media accounts rely on basic AI-generated descriptions? Missing these steps in workflows hinders inclusive access to our rich history and art. Check out my most recent article on Robert Weisberg's Museum Human to learn about the best next steps museums can take to build a legacy of accessible media for Blind patrons, from conducting audits to securing executive support and hiring expert consultants. We have everything we need to make museums the inclusive and welcoming spaces they were always meant to be.
