Abstract Digital technologies have begun to radically disrupt museum business models. The quantity of information available online today has never been so abundant, and easy access to information calls into question the role, purpose and ‘usefulness’ of museums. A century after John Cotton Dana called for a ‘useful’ museum, in‐house start‐up hubs where creative entrepreneurs can work, collaborate and create within the museum are being implemented. In doing so, these museums are reimaging Cotton Dana's vision for the ‘useful’ museum into one that is fit for purpose in this digital age. The present article focuses on how three museums are responding to the disruptions provoked by the proliferation of digital technologies and a broader interpretation of the museum's remit, by redefining their role, purpose and practices. By developing a space for creative entrepreneurs within their museums, Te Papa (New Zealand), New Museum () and (Australia) are redefining what a museum of the 21st century could be. Through a series of semi‐structured interviews with senior managers at these museums, this article examines the strategic, practical and theoretical implications that these spaces, commonly referred to as ‘start‐up hubs’, have for museum practice. The analysis of an emerging mode of museum practice as a means to support museum professionals and academics who seek to engage critically with digital culture and emerging business models in museums will follow.

联合办公空间、加速器和孵化器:日益数字化的世界中新兴的博物馆实践形式

摘要 数字技术已经开始从根本上颠覆博物馆的商业模式。当今在线提供的信息量从未如此丰富,而且信息的便捷获取使人们质疑博物馆的作用、目的和“有用性”。在约翰·科顿·达纳 (John Cotton Dana) 呼吁建立一个“有用的”博物馆一个世纪之后,创意企业家可以在博物馆内工作、合作和创造的内部启动中心正在实施。在这样做的过程中,这些博物馆正在将 Cotton Dana 对“有用”博物馆的愿景重新塑造成一个适合这个数字时代的目的。本文重点介绍了三个博物馆如何通过重新定义它们的角色、目的和实践来应对数字技术扩散和对博物馆职权范围的更广泛解释所引发的破坏。通过在博物馆内为创意企业家开发空间,Te Papa(新西兰)、New Museum()和(澳大利亚)正在重新定义 21 世纪的博物馆。通过对这些博物馆的高级管理人员的一系列半结构化访谈,本文考察了这些通常被称为“创业中心”的空间对博物馆实践的战略、实践和理论意义。随后将分析一种新兴的博物馆实践模式,以支持寻求批判性地参与博物馆数字文化和新兴商业模式的博物馆专业人士和学者。通过对这些博物馆的高级管理人员的一系列半结构化访谈,本文考察了这些通常被称为“创业中心”的空间对博物馆实践的战略、实践和理论意义。随后将分析一种新兴的博物馆实践模式,以支持寻求批判性地参与博物馆数字文化和新兴商业模式的博物馆专业人士和学者。通过对这些博物馆的高级管理人员的一系列半结构化访谈,本文考察了这些通常被称为“创业中心”的空间对博物馆实践的战略、实践和理论意义。随后将分析一种新兴的博物馆实践模式,以支持寻求批判性地参与博物馆数字文化和新兴商业模式的博物馆专业人士和学者。
