It Feels Like Home: The Value of Community

March 17, 2008 | Public Programs
In this article, Paul Tatter and Kristin Leigh of Explora (Albuquerque, NM), describe museum membership as "a sense of belonging." Tatter and Leigh argue that museum membership should be conceived as a nurtured relationship not as a commodity. Four commitments--participation, trust, acceptance, and respect--guide museum practices including membership and serve to enhance museum visitation and engagement.
