@LinaSilvers I sat in on testing sessions with one of the Survivors and he could not believe how well they captured him!

[Allison Kaminsky @KaminskyAllison]

@LinaSilvers I worked on this exhibit at the Illinois Holocaust Museum (our museum had different Survivors) and it is so gratifying to know that these stories will live on. Audiences definitely resonated with the technology!

@That_Museum_Guy I took a day trip to Giverny, Monet's home and gardens, and I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Paris

This is one unexpected way to use Open Access collections #jhumda

It's incredible that the La Brea Tar Pits exist in the center of the country's second largest city. I did not appreciate living a few blocks away from this site as a kid #jhumda

Saber-toothed #Caturday 🐾

See what kinds of incredible fossil discoveries we're unearthing during our construction, from saber-toothed cats to ancient bison.

Conducting a listening tour is a great way to help move your museum forward and make sure that all voices are heard #jhumda https://t.co/NaoSaQK13P

This is a great way to promote museums and reach underserved audiences. Plus the comprehensive list of museums highlights CT's rich cultural life #jhumda

[CT Humanities @CTHumanities]

Thank you to @GovNedLamont and our other #CT Lawmakers for seeing the value and making it possible.

Disney offers lessons for museums seeking to confront and change racist, sexist, and culturally insensitive exhibits #jhumda https://t.co/tylxNasscb

One of ISIS' many crimes was destroying Iraq and Syria's cultural heritage . Will major museums return some of these works as Iraq and Syria rebuild their cultural institutions? #jhumda https://t.co/Oxkf9vSg1J

Can't wait to see this exhibit when I go "home" to LA next month! #jhumda https://t.co/8IpBuM68nD

A moving thread from Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ-3) about donating the blue suit that he wore on Jan. 6th to the National Museum of American History for a future exhibit on the Insurrection #jhumda

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

6 months ago today I wore this blue suit as I cleaned the Capitol after the insurrection, now I just donated it to the Smithsonian. Jan6 must never be forgotten. While some try to erase history, I will fight to tell the story so it never happens again. Here is one story…(THREAD)

Many museums only repatriate work after decades of advocacy by indigenous peoples, archaeologists, and cultural heritage professionals. I applaud the Brooklyn Museum for initiating the repatriation of Costa Rican cultural treasures #jhumda

Costa Rica archaeologists in awe as Brooklyn Museum returns 1,305 artifacts https://t.co/SyNCPNN5Hv

Finally visited Mass Moca. The repurposed Mills provide a great atmosphere for modern art. I really enjoyed How to Move a Landscape by Blane De St. Croix #jhumda

[Allison Kaminsky @KaminskyAllison]

@metmuseum How often do you do pop quizzes? Have you noticed increased engagement since the pandemic started?

Putting The Medici: Portraits and Politics 1512-1570 on my list of exhibits to see in NYC

[The Metropolitan Museum of Art @metmuseum]

"'The Medici: Portraits and Politics 1512–1570,' an absorbing new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has moments so powerful they sting like the pangs of unrequited love." — @washingtonpost
