Museum Masters

This week Museum Masters Pod comes to you with the second part of our dissertation series. Allison Kopplin speaks on her master's dissertation which examines museums and prison partnerships. Allison talks about how these partnerships are formed, the challenges they faces, and why more partnerships like the ones she examines are slow to grow.

We start off our two weeks of dissertation discussion with Mary Akemon, and her dissertation on how museums use YouTube. Mary does A LOT of talking about things like watch time, the FREE resources allocated by YouTube, and the pitfalls of museums not creating YouTube content for their visitors and online audiences.

Today we talk about the American Alliance of Museums and the Museum Association. Some of the questions we pose are about the resources provided and what we expect from these organizations if we plan to become paying members. Join us in the comments to discuss what you'd be interested in seeing, or what you love most about these types of memberships as professionals!  This one is a little all over the place but we hope you enjoyed it anyway!

This week we talk about membership in the museum. What kinds of memberships exist? Should we, as museum professionals be reworking how we approach memberships? How much should they cost? Who do we need to be marketing to? We boast on Nina Simon, from the Museum 2.0 blog for helping us shape this discussion.

Museum Masters delves into the realm of LGBT exhibitions. Allison specifically lays out the process, focusing on extensive focus groups with allies and LGBT community members for a exhibition at the British Museum. Listen in to learn about the importance of including members of a minority community in development, and about how museums can make permanent and temporary exhibition more representative of the LBGT community.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MuseumMastersPodcast Twitter: http://twitter.com/MMastersPodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MuseumMastersPodcast/ Mary Akemon:http://twitter.com/maryakemon Allison Bryan:http://twitter.com/allisonkopplin
