One of the great shifts going on in the history museum field is the way we think about, manage and present the interpretive technique known as "living history." This piece in the The Colorado Sun is an excellent and thoughtful look at how the tensions around representation, volunteerism, and historical accuracy are being experienced at one NPS site in Colorado. Institutional models are changing, and there's a new generation of independent interpreters who choose the times and places they want to present who are changing the focus and experience of living history. Scott Magelssen, whose scholarship on this has been so influential, makes some interesting comments in the piece about how these changes in museums are sitting within a broader cultural interest in immersive experience. I'm interested in more conversation about first-person techniques - when, how, and even whether to use them - and how they are evolving in a time of whole history - perhaps for a future issue of the Journal of Museum Education. Let me know of interesting trends, presentation styles, experiments, and challenges you're witnessing out there! #livinghistory #museums #publichistory #interpretation #performance #museumtheatre #immersiveexperience #volunteers Museum Education Roundtable (MER) @https://lnkd.in/eVERh6uc

Interesting findings from this Department for Culture, Media and Sport report released this week for engagement in Arts, Heritage and Culture England & Wales.

This was followed by cinema screening of a film or movie (55%) and a theatrical performance (39%) 📚 - Respondents who did not engage with the arts were asked why they did not. The most common reasons given were: For physical engagement, ‘No reason in particular’’ (28%) and ‘I’m not interested in cultural or arts activities’ (24%). 🤷♀️ - 69% of adults reported having engaged with the heritage sector in the last 12 months. 🏰 - 46% engaged with museums and galleries in the last 12 months, a 10 percentage point increase from 2022/23 (36%) 🏛
