Where to start?
Task: List 5 concrete ideas for collaboration that will work in your institution
Activities should be: - Relatively free (i.e. uncontrolled) - Easy to do - Done as collaborations (where possible) - Measurable - Communicated - Framed as experiments (possibly) - Exclusive experiences (without excluding anyone)

Creating a sense of "we" is an investment in legitimacy. It turns customers into friends who feel responsible for the fate of your institution. And it shows that you care not only for your collection but also for your community.
Make friends, we all need them.
We are (all) museums.
