There’s lots of general advice about how to use Twitter, but – until now – no comprehensive guide to how museums, galleries and other cultural organisations large and small are using Twitter to involve their very diverse communities. This unique book – written by some of the museum community’s most experienced and creative users of Twitter – is packed with practical ideas and advice to help your museum realise its full potential on Twitter.
The publication has been overseen by a highly experienced International Editorial Board, comprising Twitter users from museums in the USA, UK and Australia, while the authors span three continents and are drawn from museums large and small, and from both curatorial and online staff.
Twitter for Museums is in two main sections. The first section guides you through everything you need to know to have a successful Twitter presence; steers you through the maze of organisational and policy issues you’re likely to be faced with; and deals with more advanced issues including integrating audio and video, using third-party applications, researching with Twitter, tracking and measuring your results, and integrating Twitter into your social media platform. The second section brings you a series of in-depth case studies from some of the world’s most advanced museum users – information and inspiration that will help you build followers and the kind of results you’ve probably been hoping for.

Hi – sorry for the delay in replying – there are excerpts on our site, including the chapter on the MW2010-award-winning Museu Picasso – in the News section.
This would be perfect for a paper I’m working on but I’m certain my university doesn’t have it yet. Any way to get access to any of it by chance?
Hi eds,
This is a great book concept and a great publishing format. I’m really looking forward to reading the cases and experiences of such a diverse group of museums.
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi John: thanks for being in touch! We’ll set you up with access to the online edition of the book, so that you’ll see the content that’s being included and if you find it useful can recommend to your students! We’d welcome you feedback on the content too!
Great! I am looking forward to getting in touch.
I’m a museum educator and college teacher. I use Twitter to make students aware of what is going on in the arts community. I would be interested in a review copy of your book.

Hi Sonja: we’d be happy to do this and will email you later today in more detail.
I am a young german cultural manager and prehistorical archaeologist, specialized on marketing, media and public relations.
I would love to write a review in german and offer it to german online platforms like Kulturmanagement.Net (http://www.kulturmanagement.net/). I wrote a review for them before and I am sure it will be highly appreciated and draw a lot of interest.
Would you send me an early example of the book for this purpose?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sonja Funke
