@PokemonRestocks I got the email, but it was already sold out. Crazy how 20mins can make or break getting a product.

A powerful exhibit on a community in the D.C area. Check out this online exhibit and tell me what you think of it.

To all the Sci-fi fan out there, these amazing ears will be at the National and Space museum Washington DC. Might have to take a trip there when they are on display 🤔

President Biden congratulated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in the White House as the Senate voted on Thursday to confirm her to the Supreme Court. She was confirmed on a 53-47 vote, with three Republicans joining all 50 Democrats in backing her. https://t.co/AZRjG7s3OO

@JustChrisSabat When I was in high school there were rules, but no one followed them. I remember being on the soccer team and asking my coach about hair color. She said whatever makes you happy go for it.

The @metmuseum has excellent videos on the conservation of artwork. If you are interested in fashion and dance, you should check out this video on conserving Degas. #MSTDSM

If you are interested in woodblocks and the print The Great Wave, you should check out this very informative video. I learned something new and exciting that I was shocked by. Have a look at the @britishmuseum Youtube channel. #MSTDSM

In the series of videos from @Tate, I have noticed that they are indeed quite effective in capturing the audience's attention and informing the viewer on information that could not be expressed on a small info card next to the artwork. #MSTDSM

[Mina Altman @HistorienNerd]

I have been exploring several museum YouTube channels, and I have noticed that some museums are making random videos for their channel. Which has me thinking, who is the audience they are trying to attract? #MSTDSM

[Mina Altman @HistorienNerd]

I found it interesting that the @Tate has a fantastic collection of interviews with artists on their YouTube channel. It gives the audience a greater insight into what their art means to them and the message behind each piece. #MSTDSM

Over the last couple of years, I have noticed that art museums have been dealing with the issue of showcasing nude art on social media, and it has been taken down by Facebook/Instagram. #MSTDSM

[Mina Altman @HistorienNerd]

Here are two examples of art musuems that use social media like Facebook and Instagram but have been reported for nudity even if it's for art. #MSTDSM

I feel that museums should still use these tools but need to be aware of the effects they could have on their audience and organization. #MSTDSM

[Mina Altman @HistorienNerd]

Museums have a challenge in facing ethical practice in social media use, and these organizations need to understand that social media is a tool and should not be abused. #MSTDSM

[Mina Altman @HistorienNerd]

But we as people in the musuem field should embrace teens and learn from them on what they want to see more of. Museums are a place of discovery, learning, and growing, so we need to involve teens in that process. #MSTDSM #teens

[Mina Altman @HistorienNerd]

I think that museums should be engaging with teens on social media because teens are an audience that people think are complex and difficult. Honestly, I think that most museums do not realize that we were all teens once, and being a teen is complex and difficult. #MSTDSM #teens
