I'm involved with strategic planning for a nearby history museum. I've been asked to recommend some nationally known AAM-accredited museums that have embraced the public-history approach and are doing groundbreaking work in the field. Which would YOU recommend and why? In other words, who would you say are the leading practitioners in applying public-history tools and theory in a history museum setting? Is their success about authentic experiences that reveal a sense of place, sharing authority with non-academics, exploring cross-disciplinary approaches, or an emphasis on hands-on learning? We came up with a short list that I'd be happy to share, but first I'm curious as to what others think. Looking forward to the discussion...
