Fun Is Good!

Bringing "Fun Is Good" into the Yager Museum:
  • Museum environment- keep relaxed and open
  • Encourage sharing ideas and creativity
  • Get attention, strengthen brand and visibility with weird and wacky ideas
  • Be whimsical about the approach
  • Incorporate an aspect of fun in everything you do
  • Ask questions about the process and how to make things more accessible
  • Make fun of what we do
  • Make what we do so uncool, it is cool (example of Museum Club t-shirt)

Try new ideas that are not traditional. What are ideas for the Yager Museum? Maybe a social mixer in the Museum on Valentine's Day? Or a study break program or event during Final Exams? How about 24 hours of programs in the Museum focused on a special cause or to kick off the school year? Share your ideas here!

i think that a 'roaring twenties' night would be fun, especially since the cartoons go through that time period. everyone would have to get dressed in their best, learn how to swing dance (ballroom dance team could teach) and then just have a good time.

thats a really cool idea, i think when activities allow people to role play people whoh are usually shy are able to get out of their shell> this would be a great thing to invite first year students to > it would allow them to socialize with fellow classmates and get familiar with the museum at the same time

Great ideas--I like the idea of dance (perhaps connecting with both first year students and the ballroom dancing club).
