Speaking of museums as political entities..... what a great way to push the narrative. As Trump administration moves to 'improve’ citizenship test, Philly’s American Revolution museum steps up to help migrants succeed https://t.co/BGYbfb3gn6 via @phillyinquirer #community #his581

@Like_the_Silver I love that this centered around the non expert and best practice on how to present materials...this is fab.

An interesting perspective from an intern about the beginning processes of rehousing a collection ..... https://t.co/ZnXfRRkNT7 #hist581

@distarify It's the easiest way to start the act of inclusion with the public particularly for art galleries. For museums, it alway the thought of having consumers around collections but that is dictated by policy so why not museums/galleries as commercial spaces.

@KendraT58915131 This is so cool custom labels or each layer of packaging for temporary storage at that...wow. What kind of funding do they have ?

https://t.co/HN6bGeRdpT. A well rounded fellowship encompassing academic and curatorial experience. the article mentions collections planning. What do you feel this entails. #hist581 #quickread #understandingroles

[Konjit Avent @AventKonjit]

Do you feel that we will adjust labels after the opening as mentioned in chapter 13-pg. 170?. It suggest that you will not be able to totally grasp the correlation of words and objects/images until after the exhibit's first viewing. #hist582 #theydontseeitlikeweseeit

[Konjit Avent @AventKonjit]

In chapter 13 the author talks about the integration of verbal and visual content. it is described as going together. Words should be in a logical order with labels inspired by the visuals;all in context #hist582 #wordshavemeaning #complimenteachother

[Konjit Avent @AventKonjit]

Out of the 16 guidelines for writing visitor labels, guideline 10 is the most relevant to me. EXPECT VISITORS TO READ.: We are to assume interest and to create labels short and precise. #hist582 #makethemreadmore #engaging

[Konjit Avent @AventKonjit]

Chapter 9 - case study DRAW YOURSELF. I enjoyed this approach as way to engage visitors. Would it be possible to use the table as a drawing station during the opening. Visitors could draw their interpretation of some of the vessels and name them ???? #thattable #hist582

[Konjit Avent @AventKonjit]

@SheriLa31863443 In addition, we talked about having sound while other visitors/groups are doing religious work praying, yoga etc. You never know where the sound tool may end up though. The use of headphones is always an option. Maybe it's an option for the opening only.

[Konjit Avent @AventKonjit]

@Liv4tomorrow2 It's that middle ground of discovering who you are...maybe museums figure that teenagers won't get it.
