what will the museum of the future be like?

Anyone up for a museum 3.0 meetup in Melbourne?

I'm going to be in Melbourne for a few weeks* in July, and since I'm missing the museum 3.0 meetup in London, I thought I'd see if there's any interest in meeting up in Melbourne.

If people are up for it and it's possible to find a venue, we could even try for another 'museum pecha kucha' night.

* I'm in Melbourne from July 2 - 20.

Well I am new to Museum 3.0 and I am trying to meet up with other members in Melbourne I am certainly up for something. What do you propose?

I'm assuming an evening meetup is easier for most people, so a pub or cafe that's quiet enough for proper conversation would be perfect.; ▶ Reply to This

You a member of Museums Australia? Alright I have just joined recently although I am still awaiting my Museum pack. By the way 15th, 16th or 17th are all clear for me.

It will have to be an evening session naturally. What with work commitments that week

And would people prefer completely informal drinks or should we give a pecha kucha a go?; ▶ Reply to This
