“Let that sink in for a minute. There are 33,000 museums in the United States. The people in the best position to know think that 11,000 of them could be gone by the end of 2021.”

@MHudakMUSEums It's interesting (perhaps unsurprising) how connected the Met is w/ luxury. Met Gala partnership w/ vogue, & here a luxury brand sponsoring an exhibition. #MSTDTech
@holdren_sydney Also, like w/ emergency response @ a museum - the staff is likely also experiencing some trauma in their personal lives. How do you take care of your staff's mental health? #MSTDTech
Catching up on tomorrow's readings - TeenVogue's article on digital blackface is geared @ teens (obvi) I read TV from about 14-18. I remember spotlights on diversity in those issues, but not one as reflective & critical as this. Anyone else read TV growing up? #MSTDTech
"Communicating on Social Media is like having a conversation with a friend on public transit, you think you are having a private conversation but everyone around you can also hear that conversation." - Creating a Social Institution. This is so true!! #MTSDTech
@ambersaway@AnnaMuseo AND!!!!! are you being compensated $$ for time spend "working" when not at work? Twitter stipends perhaps? Or just paying a living wage + benefits works too #MSTDTech
@dogearededition This is cool! There was a similar immersive exhibition @ the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam about the artist's mental illness - very immersive but also disorienting. Does anyone else get a little nauseous in things like this? 😂 #MSTDTech
Reading "The Met's Object Page" I'm thinking of all the analytics that capture users's interactions with the site - relates back to our earlier convos on surveillance capitalism #MSTDTech
A judge in France has ruled that two museums in the country must return three Nazi-looted André Derain paintings to the heirs of a Jewish art dealer https://t.co/aJGIJrwGKe
Recalling childhood trips to @britishmuseum with my late grandmother - a self-educated woman - her hunger for knowledge, her outrage at the colonial theft + displays of human corpses. These feelings are not clever or new or woke. Curators are just playing catch-up with my gran :)
