- INSPIRATION
What inspires you?
All of us are creative and we will have to get more creative as funding and resources continue to be scarce but we can also look at this as an opportunity.
We will have to develop projects to answer a need rather than chase a funding stream and collaborate with others for shared aims.
We hope to look at models of social engagement across a wide variety of professions and would also like to share things that help us to be creative, even when the paperwork is piling up.
So if it makes you smile and wish you had thought of it yourself, we want to see it here! Post some links.
Here’s something to get everyone started http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2010/02/when-in-your-life-were-you-most-afraid.html
I would like to try this idea and use something from our museum collections as the social object.

I came across this website today: the project seems a fun, low fi way of getting people involved and sharing
It’s a really nice project – I love the name! I’ve seen similar projects with a supporting website to track the book’s progress. There’s something lovely about it being lo-fi though – like a shared secret.
I wonder if there is a way to make it more like a conversation – maybe have a specific question that the book asks that people respond to in its pages? It could be left somewhere in a museum with the museum’s address to return it to after the book is full.
I love that so many interesting and cool projects are happening all over the place and can be reworked and utilised within a museum context… it really is thinking outside the box and making museums a more approachable space for a larger audience/participant
So inspired I thought I’d share it again here – Thank you Martin for bringing this simple yet oh so Great idead to the Out There Ideas Exchange!
