Quite some blogs are offering “best of” lists at the moment (notably, Expert Enough, Know Your Own Bone and Time’s Best Blogs of 2011), and I find these surprisingly pleasant. Also, even on blogs I follow closely I miss some posts, which then turn out to be the best. That’s my luck; to help yours, here’s the best of the museum of the future of 2011:

  1. 6 useful Google Analytics Custom Reports and Advanced Segments for museum websites
  2. How the Google Art Project might revolutionize the physical museum experience
  3. DOK Delft, inspirational library concepts
  4. Integrated media strategies for museums
  5. 30 do’s for designing successful participatory and crowdsourcing projects
  6. Using Foursquare to make historical contents locally available (and reach new audiences)
  7. What is good museum architecture?
  8. Bumpy rides and dead-end streets
  9. How to measure engagement and participation? An experiment with Google Analytics
  10. Videos and blogs about museums, technology and media

It’s great to see the strategic and result-oriented posts get quite some attention this year. Also, without Google I would have been nowhere (in terms of topics and traffic). Read the rest of this entry »
