Sammendrag

The NTNU Museum of Natural History and Archaeology in Trondheim, Norway, has recently started exploring web 2.0 technologies as a new means of communicating with museum visitors. Through social media and the launching of public databases for museum collections, the wider public is invited to participate in dialogues with the museum on scientific subjects. Drawing on the experience from two different museum projects, namely a science blog and a science wiki, I will review how the structures and practices from traditional science disciplines are challenged when meeting with the fluid nature of social media. This has implications for the practice of imparting scientific knowledge, and shows that the museum is situated in a hybrid space of public discourse (Nowotny 1993).
