Beyond Open Access: Creating Culture By, With, and For the Public
This document discusses how opening up access to cultural works and allowing public participation can help museums fulfill their mission. It provides examples from the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark of how they engaged the public by having artists remix works from their collection and contribute to Wikipedia. The museum found that members of the public were highly engaged and creative when given open access to digitized works. The document advocates for measuring cultural institutions' success by their impact on learning and happiness rather than control over collections.
