Museum 3

what will the museum of the future be like?

Lynda suggested I post this link a while back (sorry L only just re-discovered the email).

http://www.ifacca.org/publications/2008/03/11/social-effects-culture/

links to a summary of a Canadian study that suggests art gallery visitors have a stronger sense of social engagement than non-visitors. They do more donating, favours for their neighbours etc, etc. This reminds me of active discussions we were all having a few years back about galleries and museums as places for generating social capital. So I'm wondering what museums and galleries can do in the future to best support this engagement.

Their whole website appears to be down. I did a Google on them and the report and still couldn't get to it.
I've also posted some links on my wiki about measuring impact of museums that may be vaguely useful.
Here's the report Janet sent us
