Backstage Pass
Wikimedians as a rule are very interested in knowledge, at a level that can go beyond what is available to see in museum displays. Wikimedians also frequently have specific interests in certain objects, which may not be commonly on display, that they have been researching and writing Wikipedia articles about.
Tours, either within the institutions or behind the scenes, are a great way to engage wikimedians in the contents of your collections, and a useful way to give them knowledge about items that can then be spread online via Wikipedia articles and freely reusable images. This is especially true if a large part of your collection is not commonly publicly displayed.
A Backstage Pass event aims to share the expertise of real-world institutions with our wiki-expertise. Principally this involves an organisation or interest group hosting a private tour for the benefit of local Wikimedians and in reciprocation we help improve the content on Wikipedia/Commons that is relevant to that organisation.
