Want the back story on why the former director of the @MuseeLouvre is under investigation for trafficking antiquities?

It all starts with the looted golden sarcophagus seized from the @metmuseum

Best told by @theuniversalben on his Art Bust podcast: https://t.co/m63E4CqIK1

I'm angry and sad about all their deaths, but has anyone talked about how 14 of the children killed were girls and 5 were boys?

Mandating a fetus to be birthed only to have it slaughtered in a classroom 6 years later is not a fucking success story.

BREAKING NEWS: The @BritishMuseum chooses to ignore contemporary documents, eye witness descriptions, and technical drawings that languish forgotten in well-known, digitized, and open-access historical archives, some hosted by the British Museum

Working in a museum is so easy! Just volunteer at 15, go to a liberal arts college, take a min wage job at the museum and spend six figures for an MA and then compete against similar people for an entry level position and move up. So easy! Why a diversity problem? #AAM2022

NYT: “Prosecutors say there is evidence that, even before they bought the statue, officials at the Minneapolis museum knew that there were reservations about the origin story but still moved ahead.”

Woah! In reference to the board model of museums/non-profits, "Blow it all up and start over. ... I think if you did all the math, boards are losses." - Michael Bobbitt #AAM2022
