It’s been a few months since I was a museum pro. Here’s some things I’ve thought: Most people don’t even think about museums Most museums don’t really think about people The business model believes you can balance scholarship and showmanship. You can’t.

Did you play video games or computer games as a kid? Did you go to arcades? Do you have old photos of yourself playing these games or holding controllers or a console? Maybe holding an unopened box in a holiday photo? If so, we want to hear from you! s.si.edu/3pIQmnl

On the blog, our curator explores how re-examining the history of the "First Thanksgiving"—and integrating the perspectives of the Wampanoag and other Native Americans—could give renewed meaning to a national holiday. s.si.edu/3cCB4uf

Thank you @waterwheelphish and all of the @phish fans who helped make this important project a reality!
Thanks to the generosity of fans, WaterWheel made a contribution to @LCMaritime to help replace their docks and reduce the release of microplastics into the water. The new docks were installed this summer! #phish #thankyoufans #waterwheelphish #waterwheelfoundation #lakechamplain

Very excited to welcome visitors back @LCMaritime on May 22. Lots of caution (of course!) but museums are about people and after more than a year without people, we are so very ready.
As someone who's excited to go back to museums in the near-ish future, I wrote about how some in VT are planning to reopen — carefully — in the months ahead: vtdigger.org/2021/03/21/from…

Today marks the 26th presidential election in which (most) women have been able to vote in the USA. As we cast our ballots today, let's take a moment to dig into the legacy of the 19th Amendment and modern movements for women's rights: lcmm.org/modern-movements-fo…

#museumtwitter seeking peers willing to guide others through how to collage, storyboard, write a scene, do a puppet show, record an audio play, any story expression you love. This is for the @museumffff project, let's radically imagine together what museums can be.
