"More than before, institutions big and small have adopted the same mission: to transform once-hushed museums into vibrant cultural centers where the activities go far beyond what’s hanging on the walls."
Kind of a cool idea to bring people together and generate interest all at the same time. The new California Academy of Sciences does something similar... albeit slightly frattier than Yoga mornings. Add in a shift in priorities to promoting the old favorities from the visiting exhibits (what I call, shiny things) and a push for more about the social component, it's possible that museums can become more than just the 10-4 tourist attraction.
