Museum Manager 2010
It must have been 1995 when I picked up my first copy of Championship Manager 2, the football management computer game. Much like games like Simcity and Flight Simulator, it proved to be a highly addictive and incredibly challenging simulation game. Being the manager of a club like Barcelona, Manchester United or AC Milan, you had great responsibilities: building up a balanced squad, improving training grounds with the money earned at the gates, and focussing on youth development when finances were tight. As the years passed by, the game went from buying Roberto Baggio and Marco van Basten to employing specialist coaches and scouts to better the club and motivate players to give it all. AI – as avid players lovingly call the game engine – adds incredible things to the game play, making it in my case much more fun to do than watching 90 minutes in a stadium or on the television.
Having recently rediscovered my interest (and addiction) for this immensely popular game (that has been renamed Football Manager), I started thinking about the possibility of translating the game directly to the museum domain. And thus the idea of Museum Manager 2010 was born. Wouldn’t it be great to become the manager of Tate or MoMA (or maybe the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris?) and think about a strategy to move the museum forward, just like you do with all the other simulation games like Football Manager and Simcity? Hiring the right curator for a new exhibition, or buying that masterpiece that will draw a crowd but forces you to invest in safety and maintenance that will drain your budget? Expanding overseas like the Guggenheim and Louvre, or forming a network with other small museums around the planet?
I would definitely play this game (and become addicted). Could this be an interesting approach to open up museums and learn from our current and future audiences? Could a game be a museum? Could a museum be a game? I hope to find out more while writing this article for the next Metropolis M next month.

nice idea! I was developing similar concept but from art collector perspective. You had to visit artist studios, build collections of art works and the nice thing was that you could start off in the middle ages, at the time of andy warhol or now. Looking forward to reading your piece;)

At this point on many DO N’T S When it comes to betting on boxing :. xEOL .1. Do n’t bet on race . Yes its bang up you are proud of your race and home countrymen . But to just blindly bet on a fighter cause he was birthed in the same state as you or your mothers is just evident slow and will oftentimes metres leave you came apart.
I remember one of my Mexican-American employees Juan would always bet with other Mexican co workers on the Pacquiao fights. Juan would always put $ 100 on Pacquiao and the Mexicans would ever bet on Pacquiao’s Mexican opposite with out any logic thereto what so of all time. You do the math, Juan’s a smart guy. xEOL .2. Do n’t bet on your heroes. Yes we all have our boxing betting heroes to the point of where others may call us the term : “nut hugger”. I am a HUGE Roy Jones Jr sports fan and I will ne’er bet facing him even now when he’s 40 years old and a mere shell of the once unvanquishable tiptop man he was for his whole career .
I considered top notch man was going to wing back into the ring against Joe Calzaghe that nighttime and he did show up but just for the particular round unfortunately . When you bet on your heroes you are again betting blindly with out logical system particularly when they are way over and above their primes. xEOL .3. Do n’t bet with Teddy Atlas. Yes I do admire and am inspired by the great guru Teddy Atlas. But it is so obvious that he purposely always plunks the heavy under dog who usually has no chance in hell designedly as if to almost insure that the antonym can happen during the time . So version bet on the antonym of what Atlas predicts .
Super excited to see more of this kind of stuff oinlne.

Hello, I just stopped in to visit your blog and thought I’d say I had a great visit.
Very interesting info!Perfect just what I was looking for!
It’s incredibly encouraging to hear stories about you. This is my first time of browsing your site and I can say that it is full of great things for those really serious about this topic. Other than my full-time job as a dentist, I’ve been experimenting with how to gain know-how in other areas of life. I’m surprised that I’m now making close to 300 month by my work. I most certainly will check out your site to see what I can study from your experience. I’ve toyed with the idea of teaching friends and neighbors on this topic yet coming here showed me I still have quite some distance to go. You disclosed some secrets that I never knew about. Appreciation for your post!
