An article for consideration

Hello everyone. Greetings on this beautiful October day. Below is a link to an article that may be of interest. It prompted me to wonder about the nature of defining audiences as well as the benefits and drawbacks for brick and mortar museums.

Also, some related thoughts:
-Just watched a few episodes of Ken Burns' The War. It struck me that this was essentially a virtual museum; at least the manner in which the material is presented. Ideas?
-Museum2.0 has a great article on mash-ups and a fun video to watch. Highly recommended.
