In this episode of Bogen Lever! we meet Claire Bown – educator, facilitator, and founder of Thinking Museum.
Claire has recently published The Art Engager: Reimagining Guided Experiences in Museums (2024), where she presents The Thinking Museum® Approach – a method for creating meaningful, interactive museum experiences through dialogue and curiosity.

She talks about the journey from idea to finished book, the emotions and expectations that come with self-publishing your own work, and the joy of seeing a long-held vision take physical form.
The conversation revolves around courage, vulnerability, and the creative process – from early drafts and doubts to that moment when you finally hold the book in your hands and know it’s truly your own.
