SUMMARY
Jerry Yoshitomi explores what makes a museum or gallery experience meaningful and how innovation and new practices are needed if we are to break down barriers, deepen the visitor experience and attract a new generation of visitors.
The good galleries find ways of involving visitors in this experience, so that they can download images to their phones or upload their own photos to an arts website, extending our reaction to the experience. The National Trust [in the UK] has an initiative which encourages people to write in and give their thoughts about why buildings are important to them.
