Some visitors may bring their own, Some may eat only the finger food, Some may choose another restaurant, Many will go away hungry,
If the Museum doesn’t provide it:
feeling uninvited and unwelcome.

Tate Modern’s Principles of Interpretation1. Interpretation is at the heart of the gallery’s mission.2. Works of art do not have self-evident meanings. 3. Works of art have a capacity for multiple readings;
interpretation should make visitors aware of the subjectivity of any interpretive text.
4. Interpretation embraces a willingness to experiment with new ideas.
5. We recognise the validity of diverse audience responses to works of art.
6. Interpretation should incorporate a wide spectrum of voices and opinions from inside and outside the institution.
7. Visitors are encouraged to link unfamiliar artworks with their everyday experience.

SI Mobile’s Strategy
1. Integrate mobile into everything we do to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts;
2. Transform the way the Institution works in order to achieve its strategic goals and vision for the 21st century.

SI Mobile’s Vision
04/12/2023 Nancy Proctor, proctorn@si.edu 20
by using mobile platforms to enlist collaborators globally in undertaking the real and important work of the Institution.
Recruit the world to increase and diffuse knowledge
Put the Smithsonian not just in the people’s
pockets, but in their hands.
