Art is something that connects to us in many ways. Art can portray a message, invite personal connections, create discussion and elicit emotional responses. Art can create controversy, teach us new ideas, and celebrate multiple perspectives. Art museums are one type of vehicle that invite visitor engagement with art in many different ways.
Sometimes museums engage visitors even further by incorporating content developed by visitors into their exhibitions. Some basic examples include comment kiosks or comment walls. Today, museums are creating innovative ways of visitor participation, and are also using social networking sites as another platform to interact with visitors.

At the Michener, some exhibitions make an effort to engage visitors so that they can take an active role in contributing content. Examples of this seen in recent exhibitions, such as Icons of Costume: Hollywood’s Golden Era and Beyond, Art Speaks: Contemporary Connections with the Bucks County Intermediate Unit Collection and Facing Out, Facing In: Figurative Works from the Michener Art Museum Collection.
