@FoundInMuseums WOO WOO! See this is what i will miss about twitter! Celebrating victories with other siloed collections/registration workers you've never met.
@MichelleNMoon @Susan_Spero @MuseumJones Do you know any examples of museums that successfully shifted their docent program into a lifelong learning program? Our aging docent core still craves community so this could be a good compromise
@the_museumfolk @MOfP2021 My personal favorite was the accessioned bunny costume worn every year for the Easter egg hunts. Not historic. Not related to the collection.
@the_museumfolk Oof I had an intern like this. Except he never followed the instructions and I constantly had to reexplain. We ended up having what I hope was a direct but kind talk about active listening. Easier though because interns are there to learn (collections and genโl work environment)
Welcome to the new John Waters Restrooms. ๐ฝ Last night, we dedicated our new gender-neutral restrooms for artist, Baltimore icon, and #ArtBMA Trustee, #JohnWaters.
@JohnWFerguson My personal theory is it started when Juneteenth became a state holiday and someone mistook AV as union headquarters. There's not really mention of the AV connection until 1980. Then GDN story June 3, 1981 the story grows from Granger "issuing" it to "reading" it from the balcony
