NIGHTS AT THE MUSEUM
Tribune REDEYE (PG 3)

Voting is open to decide who is going to be the person that is going to be part of a living experiment at the Science and Industry museum. There are 5 finalists: Alex Dainis (Mansfield.Mass), Felix Jung ( Chicago), Krispijn Larrison (Seattle), Kate McGroarty ( Chicago) and Johnathan Wilson ( Lake Charles. La) after 1.500 people who applied to be part of the exhibit of the museum. The person who will be choose is gong to live for 30 days at the museum (Oct. 20 to Nov. 18) also he or she is going to receive 10.000$ as a reward of his/her contribution. You can vote at monthatthemuseum.org that started this Monday and will end on October 4.

I think that is a very interesting idea, to have that type of experience living at the museum. Indeed I think more than a experiment it is a marketing strategy where they use a person to be part of the exhibition, in order to get more visitors, so this people interested in the new ‘item’ would go to the museum, spending money in parking, tickets and snack in other hand the affluence of visitors is going to increase, that is good because some people would rather to spend their time in different places than to go to the museum and have a cultural experience.
