#digital in #museums can broaden our audience, increase accessibility, and beyond those things, explore new conversations through an increasingly important medium.

[M. L. Chavis @mlchavis]

I love seeing #museums activate their full potential as public service institutions to deeply explore and connect collections & scholarship with issues facing our communities today.

[Lonnie G. Bunch III @SmithsonianSec]

Racism is a national issue that transcends specific communities. Leveraging Smithsonian scholarship and collections, #RaceAndOurSharedFuture will spark learning, discussion, and reflection. Together, we will confront our history and unite to bring healing and hope for our future.

@tdenos3 @NMNH @smithsonian @ReaganK8_HISD @SouthArea_HISD @HoustonISD A lot of local and state #museums are offering similar virtual visits and content. I hope that #teachers and #museums everywhere reach out to one another to expand upon these opportunities!

[M. L. Chavis @mlchavis]

@NCmuseumhistory This is an important convo for the #museum community. Think of how many people we don't get through the doors (in person and digitally), because people don't want to be there or don't connect to the public services offered or for a myriad of other reasons.

🐋 We've received many questions about the blue whale's bandage: It's real. It was installed yesterday by Trenton from the Exhibition department! It's 6 feet long & 2 feet wide.

Come see it for yourself! Register for a vaccine today: https://t.co/smuMuIshDy

This 1,800-year-old mosaic at Bulla Regia in Tunisia was recently reburied. It decorates the floor of a small room in the Roman-period Maison de la Chasse (House of the Hunt).

Why? Read more on reburial, a conservation technique used around the world: https://t.co/EkOEsFJDRk

Can we get meteorologists to make this NC truth scientifically official? People never believe this anecdotal information until they visit or move here.

[NC DNCR @ncculture]

In North Carolina, we don’t just have one pollen season—we have three. There’s some overlap in these seasons. The different pollen seasons are determined by the types of plants producing pollen.

In North Carolina, this allergy season tends to peak in April.
