Allison and Mary tackle the debate of having large, international, and sometimes not-so-ethical companies sponsor museum exhibitions. We talk specifically about BP and its partnerships with places such as Tate Modern and the British Museum. Disclaimer: We're sorry for the audio in this one, we had some mic troubles but figured the content was good enough that hopefully, you all wouldn't mind!

Stop, and let's rethink Membership
This week we talk about membership in the museum. What kinds of memberships exist? Should we, as museum professionals be reworking how we approach memberships? How much should they cost? Who do we need to be marketing to? We boast about Nina Simon, from the Museum 2.0 blog for helping us shape this discussion.

Creating and Representing in LGBT Exhibitions
The Museum Masters podcast delves into the realm of LGBT exhibitions. Allison specifically lays out the process — focusing on extensive focus groups with allies and LGBT community members for an exhibition at the British Museum. Listen in to learn about the importance of including members of a minority community in development, and about how museums can make permanent and temporary exhibition more representative of the LBGT community.
