[hackerspaces] museums and hackerspaces

[Nina Simon]

Hi folks,

I'm an interactive museum exhibit designer who has been pretty  
freaking excited to learn about hackerspaces.  I got into the science  
museum business originally as a pinball machine hacker and loved  
sharing electronics insanity with people who never imagined they could  
make a lie detector/robot/explosion/etc.

I wrote a blog post about hackerspaces and their potential connection  
to museum spaces here: http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2009/04/hackerspaces-diy-science-centers-for.html

I've had a few museum exhibit directors write to me with interest in  
how they might connect to local groups/become a resource or space for  
hackerly-minded-adults.  I'm curious whether you think that  
hackerspaces could reasonably exist with/inside/alongside museums and  
whether you see potential value there or just a mess of rules and  
screaming kids you don't want to deal with.

Either way, I'm inspired and energized.  Thanks.

Nina
