“Highlights from an ongoing series of exclusive interviews exploring innovative museum practice where Gregory Chamberlain talks to alternative museum thinkers about their work and the future of museums. Full list of interviews in the ‘Alternative Museum Establishment’ series published in issues 09 and 10 of Museum/iD magazine:
• Nina Simon, Museum of Art & History, McPherson Center, Santa Cruz
• Tony Butler, Museum of East Anglian Life
• Michelle López, Queens Museum of Art
• Stuart Gillis, Derby Museums
• Lisa Junkin, Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, Chicago
• Camilo Sanchez, Museum of Independence and ICOM Colombia
• Peter Stott, Falkirk Community Trust”
Interesting - and possibly useful - answers to the question haunting many (not enough, though…) museum professionals: “Who am I and what am I supposed to do at/with this place?”

An interesting discussion at the British Museums Association.
A previous in-depth discussion on different kinds of lighting, by Ernest Wotton (Let There be Light) is still available at the Canadian Museums Association.
