Museum Trends

Where museums are headed. AI, social media, technology, and the forces reshaping how these institutions operate and stay relevant.

"Museum AI Pledge: Keeping Human Expertise at the Center" was co-written with Marion Carru00e9. We argued that as museums adopt AI, human knowledge and judgment need to stay at the core.

"What Can Poku00e9mon Go Mean for Museums" was originally published on MuseumNext. When Poku00e9mon Go exploded, I saw an opportunity that most museums were ignoring.

"Being Social: What Museums Need to Understand for the Future" was originally published in 2014 with Museum-ID and later turned into a slide deck by Museum Hack. I wrote about museums and young adults, and the piece kept finding new audiences.

"Museums At 2040: Hello, and Welcome to The Future" was originally published on American Alliance of Museums. I tried to imagine what museums would look like in 2040, and some of those predictions are already coming true.

More trend pieces on the way. Museums change slowly, but the world around them does not.
