"This thesis aims to draw an image of a possible supplement system for museums in emulation of the open access of the Internet. This thesis touches on important concepts, such as information, knowledge, power, and democracy, and how these come into contact with one another. The thesis would like to talk about three different roles in the process: the museum itself, the objects, and the visitor. Demolishing the museum’s traditional role as an authority or expert, it transforms into a platform for knowledge sharing and growth. In the new system, the exhibition value is separated from the cult value of authenticity by digitalization of the objects, removing their aura but creating freedom of information. Current museums will provide a resource for digital databases, in which way the inner value of the collections, the distilled knowledge attached to the pieces, are deprived from the physical objects, and transferred into a digital state, perhaps flatter but easy for circulation. Visitors will have more chances and more approaches to use the resources. They can collect, share, comment, communicate, learn, make connections, and even have an impact on the museum in reverse, from visitor to curator. With techniques of Virtual Reality, a 3D shared space will serve as the platform. The huge memory capacity and open nature of the internet will bring the opportunity to record individual voices and allow active information circulation, utilizing the objects and knowledge already present but locked in museums." -- Abstract

For over a century, museums have claimed that they will democratise, need to democratise or have a new idea or approach about how they are going to democratise. However, a range of issues and institutional cultures that privilege expertise conspire to ensure professional practice remains undemocratic, exclusive and one-sided. This tends to result in the retention of curatorial control and a professional culture that resists change. Participation--in which visitors are invited to leave a comment, co-create or contribute to exhibitions--is the latest trend adopted by the museum sector that promises to democratise museums. In the context of ongoing debate about the new museology and social inclusion, how can museum participation redress the power imbalance of traditional museum-visitor relations and democratise museums (to become relevant, responsible, diverse and multi-vocal platforms for the wider social good) when many previous attempts have failed? The Museum of Australian Democracy's Power of 1 exhibition was used as a case study to examine participatory experiences in an Australian context. Conceived as an overt attempt to activate visitor agency, the exhibition was shaped--visually, emotionally and intellectually--by the answers shared by visitors with little or no filtering from a curator or other museum professional. Informed by questioning of the relevance of museums to diverse communities, together with findings that Australian citizens had become disillusioned towards politics, the experimental participatory exhibition trialled tangible and digital activities to encourage visitors to discover the changing nature of Australian democracy and the power of their voice within it. Using largely qualitative techniques supported by an integrated mixed-method approach and interdisciplinary research, this case study was based on three new bodies of data that consisted of semi-structured interviews with museum professionals, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with visitors at the time of their visit and semi-structured longitudinal interviews with visitors several months later. After more than a century of museums talking among themselves about how to democratise, this case study invited visitors to reflect on and share their views about democracy and consider the utility of participation to make museums more democratic. The study found original, unexpected and uncomfortable results. Contemporary museum practice remained inherently undemocratic as was evidenced by practices of censorship, reliance on personal and untested opinions and active resistance to change. However, that data also revealed that when visitors to the Power of 1 engaged in 'imagined conversations' with future and past visitors, decision-makers and power holders (dead or alive) and with communities to whom they may not otherwise have access, they exposed the powerful (and power-shifting) potential of museum participation. By accommodating multiple perspectives, being relevant to and inclusive of diverse audiences and respecting and activating visitor agency, participatory approaches showed the potential to transform museums into a platform to connect the voices, expertise and concerns of citizens to new communities, both real and imaginary, to make the museum more relevant, responsive and responsible. The Power of 1 case study demonstrated how participation became a democratic, imagined conversation between society, individuals and the museum.

This thesis argues that embedding principles of critical pedagogies and radical democratic practice into museum engagement strategies holds great potential for democratising museums. Through two case studies as well as close analysis of the 'Queering the Museum Online' project and examination of complementary research into civic engagement, it explores the obstacles and affordances that museum practitioners can expect to encounter in this process.--Introduction, pages 8-9.

MUSEUM TRANSFORMATIONS DECOLONIZATION AND DEMOCRATIZATION Edited By ANNIE E. COOMBES AND RUTH B. PHILLIPS Museum Transformations: Decolonization and Democratization addresses contemporary approaches to decolonization, greater democratization, and revisionist narratives in museum exhibition and program development around the world. The text explores how museums of art, history, and ethnography responded to deconstructive critiques from activists and poststructuralist and postcolonial theorists, and provided models for change to other types of museums and heritage sites. The volume's first set of essays discuss the role of the museum in the narration of difficult histories, and how altering the social attitudes and political structures that enable oppression requires the recognition of past histories of political and racial oppression and colonization in museums. Subsequent essays consider the museum's new roles in social action and discuss experimental projects that work to change power dynamics within institutions and leverage digital technology and new media.

Museums today find themselves within a mediatised society, where everyday life is conducted in a data-full and technology-rich context. In fact, museums are themselves mediatised: they present a uniquely media-centred environment, in which communicative media is a constitutive property of their organisation and of the visitor experience. The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication explores what it means to take mediated communication as a key concept for museum studies and as a sensitising lens for media-related museum practice on the ground. Including contributions from experts around the world, this original and innovative Handbook shares a nuanced and precise understanding of media, media concepts and media terminology, rehearsing new locations for writing on museum media and giving voice to new subject alignments. As a whole, the volume breaks new ground by reframing mediated museum communication as a resource for an inclusive understanding of current museum developments. The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication will appeal to both students and scholars, as well as to practitioners involved in the visioning, design and delivery of mediated communication in the museum. It teaches us not just how to study museums, but how to go about being a museum in today’s world. The book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access at www.taylorfrancis.com.
