ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the experience of designing, deploying, and playing an artistically designed web app that invites museum visitors to turn their visit into a ‘gift’ – a hybrid experience made of photos and audio recordings that they send to someone they love; as if they were making a mixtape, only with objects from a museum. We discuss this from the perspectives of the designers, museum professionals, and visitors, to explore how a fundamental social activity such as gifting can create new layers of meaning for museum experiences.
