Museum Trends

What will the museum of the future look like?

I am thinking about how to go about answering that question. As part of the process I have created museumtrends.org a microblog to use as a scrapbook to collect thinking about the future of museums. My hope is to create a collaborative forum for discussion on the topic and use museumtrends.org as the record of the conversation. As a first pass, I have some thoughts about the future of museums to get the conversation going.

I welcome suggestions and comments!

Thanks, Mark
