A Powerhouse Community Engagement Story

All those working in the museum, gallery or other historic buildings and sites who wonder what social media tools might do for them when it comes to community engagement and two-way interactive involvement may want to look at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. What they have already done provides a glimpse of the future and the below 184 slide presentation from @PaulaBray provides an excellent graphical representation of these accomplishments including many real success stories and hard examples.

The Powerhouse Museum, part of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, presents exhibitions and programs based on the ideas and technologies that have changed our world, and the stories of the people who inspire and create them. Our purpose is to enable visitors to discover and be inspired by human ingenuity.

The Powerhouse Museum is located in Darling Harbour, Sydney. Its diverse collection, built up over more than 125 years, spans history, science, technology, design, industry, decorative arts, music, transport and space exploration.
