MUSEUM ARCHIPELAGO

Museum Archipelago is a tiny show guiding you through the rocky landscape of museums. The show believes that no museum is an island and that museums are not neutral.

Taking a broad definition of museums, host Ian Elsner brings you to different museum spaces around the world, dives deep into institutional problems, and introduces you to the people working to fix them.

Museum Archipelago broadcasts with a full transcript.

Each episode is never longer than 15 minutes, so let's get started.

Club Archipelago

Hello. I’m Ian Elsner. I make interactive museum exhibits and podcasts about museums.

I'd love to help develop interactive museum exhibits for your museum too. You can get in touch by email: ian@ianelsner.com.
