Word travels fast. And, in our modern, connected world, this is more apparent than ever. With the popularization of websites such as TripAdvisor and Yelp, online reviews have become a way for consumers to share their thoughts on places and businesses and to make sure they have the best experiences possible. These review websites can be just as valuable for museums and cultural attractions as they are for restaurants and hotels.

The Huntington Museum of Art has everything Including New Digital Membership Cards
The Huntington Museum of Art has launched their new digital membership cards in partnership with Cuseum. For such a diverse and creative museum, they deserve an equally awesome membership card.
This museum has everything from, “16,000 objects, ten exhibition spaces, an interactive education gallery, an art reference library of nearly 27,000 volumes, a 287-seat auditorium, the only tropical and subtropical plant conservatory in the state of West Virginia, a coral reef aquarium, two outdoor sculpture courts, five studio workshops, two miles of hiking trails, and a quarter-mile paved accessible Sensory Trail for the visually impaired.” With such a diverse amount of interests it’s no wonder that the Huntington Museum of Art switched to a more accessible digital membership card option!
The environment is central to the Huntington Museum of Art due to their large plant conservatory and nature trails. In order to show this core “green” value, the museum switched to a sustainable digital membership card.

Attack of the 100-Year Old Startup
At first glance, museums and startups may not seem to have an overwhelming amount in common. The majority of museums are not-for-profit, mission-driven institutions and operate in a different realm than the high-growth (and high risk) enterprises of Silicon Valley. Over the last few years, however, I’ve noticed something very interesting happening in the museum space.
How Museums are Leveraging GIFs & Giphy to Boost Audience Engagement
From dancing dogs to pop culture references, GIFs have added another element of fun to how we communicate in the digital age. Animated GIFs are like short, sweet, videos or digital flipbooks that allow images to come to life on your screen. While GIFs have been around since 1987 (they’re over 30 years old, and also known as “graphics interchange format”) they didn’t rise to mainstream popularity until the late 2000’s. Since their new rise to fame and everyday use, GIFs have not only redefined how we communicate over social networks, email, and SMS, but they have also presented themselves as a new tool to engage and educate audiences in the museum realm. This has led museums and cultural institutions to embrace GIFs as a way to bring their collections to life and engage younger, digital-centric audiences.
5 Creative & Innovative Experiments in Museum Membership
When most people think of innovation, their minds automatically wander to technology. While technology does undeniably play a large role in how museums drive innovation, there are also many other ways institutions can make strides in creative and experimental ways. Looking towards membership, this aspect of museums has remained fairly inline in what it has been for the past few decades. But, as the demographics and expectations of the population continue to evolve, museums must search for ways to experiment and break away from the traditional models.
A Presidential Campaign: Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation Announces New Digital Management Cards
“Four Score and seven years ago”… but actually today! We’re proud to announce that the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation has launched their new digital membership cards! At Cuseum, we value sites that showcase history in a new light and use new means of technology.
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation’s mission is to, “support the educational and cultural programming of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum; fosters Lincoln scholarship through the acquisition and publication of documentary materials relating to Lincoln and his era; and promotes a greater appreciation of history through exhibits, conferences, publications, online services, and other activities designed to promote historical literacy.” The Digital Membership cards aid in the creation of a better membership program.
For a library that is trying to preserve paper through any means necessary, it makes sense to switch over to a more green alternative like the digital membership cards.
