Introduction
The 2015 NMC Horizon Report indicated key trends and significant challenges that are plausible to impact museums across the world over the next five years. One of these trends was titled “Rise of Private Companies in Museum Education.” This trend is characterized by relationship shifts between the private sector and the museum. In recent years, a number of companies and startups have been working directly with or alongside museums on education-centric goals. One popularized example of this trend is Museum Hack, a private business opened in 2011 that engages with audiences contrasted to traditional museum methods. Through their programs they state that they can reach and attract new audiences, especially Millennials, by providing …show more content…

We also have specialized tours including VIP Nights, Bachelorette Parties, Marriage Proposals and Team Building Tours.
Team Building is a large part of our business. We host teams for excursions through the museum that offer the same, fun and fast-paced approach as our public tours, but optimized for bringing a team closer together and fostering a great company culture. Some companies do a scavenger hunt where their team works together to follow clues in the museum. Our team building clients include Google, Facebook, Spotify, Etsy, KPMG, Lego, Adobe, ESPN, and the New Yorker — but you don’t have to be a big company to invest in team building, our minimum group size is two …show more content…

Nick lives in NYC, and like many locals thought of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as just another tourist place — somewhere you take your friends and family when they visit the city. Then a friend invited him on a “museum date”, where she showed him the art pieces she was passionate about. That passion was contagious! Nick went back to the museum dozens of times, iPad in hand, doing a deep dive into the pieces he found most interesting. Then he started inviting friends to come tour with him, which was pretty informal and essentially a focus on the Un-Highlights, i.e., art that isn’t necessarily the most famous or most expensive, but instead the pieces that have really cool backstories. When a popular blog wrote about the “friend tours”, over 1000 people joined a wait list for the tours. That’s when Museum Hack became a business, with the early hires, charging for tours, etc. While most museum tours focus on facts, and showing off the most famous pieces, Museum Hack tours are different because we tell stories about the art and artists, do fun activities in the galleries, take selfies with the art, and generally have a great

Last weekend I went to visit my one of my friends, who recently got a teaching job, in Rome, Georgia.

Visiting museums is always fun for many people, especially when you are a little kid. You get to see all kinds of different historical works done by the people from the past and present. I recently haven’t been to any museums since I was little, until I got to visit one for this course. For this Action Research Project Paper, I visited Dallas Freedman’s Memorial located in Dallas, Texas. Dallas Freedman’s Memorial is one of the most beautiful museums and quite depressing at the same time.

The Orlando Museum of Art, also known as OMA, is a hub of Central Florida when it comes to pulling in remarkable works of art for the public eye to pay patronage to. Today I visited such a place for the annual Antiques Vintage and Garden Show, which took place between February 19th through the 21st. Included in the price of a ticket was also admission to The OMA’s current exhibitions, which included Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers and their other running exhibits, which contained an array of work, ranging from Pre-Columbian sculptures to more contemporary works of the 21st century. The specific exhibit which held my interest most was the Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican gallery titled “A Trek from North to South”, which was organized by geographic locations in Latin America. Since my girlfriend, Illiana, bought me tickets to the show for a

I have never actually been in an art museum before so this was a little out of my comfort zone because of how awkwardly quiet it was, but nonetheless it was for homework (and I had to pay to get in) so I was going to try it out. When I first entered the museum, we started in the area with the artifacts of Native American’s, while these were very neat to see I continued on to look for the art. I was actually excited to see the art, which is very weird for me

After all, why are art galleries and gallerists busy spending time and energy on a near-perfect display of art? Who are they all (the gallerist as well as the artist) trying to lure? Why is it important for the artist to know, swagger and often strut around whose collection his/her artwork has landed into? Why does the art gallery (and/or the artist) that manages sell-out shows, havea chip on its shoulder? The speedy dissemination of information and the ease of international travel offer the collector unrestricted access to an art world.
