If you want to understand what makes a place tick, visit a museum. These venerable institutions orient visitors and engage locals. This presentation reviews how museums interact with locals and patrons via the social web. We highlight upcoming events and share screenshots of good practices around the globe. Your comments are welcome and so are embeds, likes, hearts, favorites, clips and shares.
