Re: [Wikimediach-l] Exhibition about Wikipedia?
For some time, I'd been toying with the idea of organising an exhibition of Featured Pictures from Commons, possibly restricting the selection to images by Swiss contribuors and Swiss-related topics. This could provide strong visual components to the exhibition you are envisionning.

Hello Iolanda , The call for project 2014 for Wikimedia CH should be launch later this month, I definitively think that building such an exposition could be one project.

[Wikimediach-l] Exhibition about Wikipedia?
dear all during the last general assembly we visited the Ethnographical museum in Neuchâtel http://www.men.ch (below some more info about the museum [1]). How about an exhibition about Wikipedia there? The idea of an exhibition about Wikipedia actually comes from the museum director Marc-Olivier Gonseth, who launched the idea the first time we met last year. In those last weeks I have contacted 1) Andrew Lih. during Wikimania 2012 he mentioned an exhibition is was working on. the exhibition is planned for end 2013-beginning of 2014 at the Computer history museum [2]. we are currently in contact to see if maybe we can bridge the two projects or learn from each over. 2) WMF to ask about other exhibition projects. for the moment no news. 3) the research group Open Online Communities which involves several researchers in different European countries and universities working on the topic of OOC and wikipedia (i am one of the research members). the group seems interested in contributing to provide content and research. personally i think it can be a relevant project and it could be also designed as an itinerant show. of course the Ethnographical museum in Neuchâtel needs to be recontacted, but i think it would be nice to make a "wikipedia/wikimedia projects" (i like for example the approach of Andrew Lih of organising a meetup there. what do you think? anyone interested in the idea? do you think WIkimedia CH could be involved? all the best iolanda/iopensa [1] The Ethnographical museum in Neuchâtel is a small museum but it is considered in the anthropological field as one of the best museums. It has a very peculiar approach. All its exhibitions try to unpack culture and knowledge. They focus on the meta-discourse, and they use an historiographical approach, they detect critical issues, and they show how categories shape our perception of culture and the world. There is also a strong research work behind the exhibitions. I think it can be a very interesting place to develop an exhibition related to Wikipedia. Maybe we could envision an exhibition for 2015.
