(the US) Public wants museums to be neutral, musuems are not neutral...

Relevance is the key here for young people. They may trust, but don't see museums as relevant to them...

This is US data, not the same in Australia (I'll have to dig out that data)

Museums in the US are scared, cancellation of funding, programs at risk... Especially those that are federally and state funded

Questions now raised about the Smithsonian's autonomy...

So now the Smithsonian finds itself at cente of debates around the politicisation of museums

I'm feeling this speaker (The Under Secretary of the Smithsonian) is in a tricky place...

Loving this speaker and this idea of a museum (given they can't get their material repatriated...) www.whmzambia.org

Gonna cancel my Guardian Australia subscription tomorrow. All I saw on their page throughout the *whole* #leadersdebate was pinned post and key events platforming #TemuTrump. Poor form.

Summary reflections from @adriankingston.bsky.social 's excellent presentation. Also like the way Te Papa is thinking about AI.

Cool way to collect quick insights from event attendees which is then analysed within Te Papa's impact framework

Very interesting use of AI, especially to interact with data at scale, 'effective for visitor voices and a great way to supercharge insight value', and in their own words and contexts.

Negative sentiment remarks are around value, fees and pricing, and crowding.

And, parking and food have a huge importance in the visitor experience (I've found this slot too).

Wonder if visitor happiness is related also to external factors - they are generally unhappy...??

Also, visitor happiness is less for Australians and high for New Zealanders.
