As you’ve probably figured out, we’ve been making a lot of changes at the MAH. New programs. New interactive exhibition elements. New dangerous sculptures featuring fish and hammocks.
Tomorrow (Friday), we’ll be having an evening event to brainstorm with you about where we’re going, what’s going on, and what you think we should be focusing on. You can check out our new not-quite-finished exhibitions, take a stab at writing your own labels, paint a mural with an artist, tell stories about the old county jail, get your hands on our collections objects, explore the back rooms, and dance. There will be a crazy dance workshop based on the museum experience. Plus interns showing off their projects, opportunities to get involved as volunteers and members, and an idea jam in the auditorium where you can tell me exactly what you think I should be doing and where I should stick it. Or hopefully, ask some tough questions, come up with some wild ideas, and generally help make the museum a more vibrant place.
The event is from 5-9pm tomorrow. It’s $5 for adults, $3 for students, and free for members. There will be great activities for kids and families as well as adults.
We’re working hard, and we can’t do it without you. Please come down and get involved. And on that note, check out this awesome blog post by our thirteen year old volunteer Lena about her experience here rocking the paper cutter.
