Book recommendation for 2024: "The Power of Moments.". It discusses how meaningful moments in our lives are constructed, and how we can deliberately engineer those moments for ourselves and others. CMNC will be "The Magical Moments Museum!"

Yes I am! If you are interested in outreach, join our panel discussion: 'Beyond the Museum Walls: Outreach and Public Engagement in Museum Education', with John Falk, Mohammad Ruhaiyem, Maria Elena Ronza and Rasha Dababneh.

Going to a museum enriches the visitor's life, but also enriches the visitor's community!

A purple square with the words "Friday Facts: State Arts Impact" below the black top border. In the middle, a statistic from the American Alliance of Museums' report linked above reads: "Museums in Massachusetts generated a Gross Value Added Impact of?2.3 billion dollars in 2016" written in a purple font over a light yellow colored outline of the state of Massachusetts.?

Employee friendly, collaborative effort, environmentally sustainable, appropriately aligned to tourist seasons, immersive local community engagement - the slow-museum model seems to have it all; but not without its challenges! With concerns of waitlisting in terms of booking exhibitions or artwork donations, artists' resentments, job cuts etc., I really like how the article highlights that the model still paves way for in-depth conversations and consciousness art consumption. As a fan of slow living and relishing art, slowly and meaningfully, a yay from me!

Is slow the new fast? Imagine a museum where you can breathe and truly appreciate the art, not just race through a checklist of exhibits. That's the idea behind the hot new trend of "slow museums." Slow museums are all about quality over quantity. They showcase fewer collections but invest more time and energy into making each one unforgettable. It's not just about the paintings (though those are still awesome!). Slow museums are also upping the game on events and workshops. Imagine chatting with the artist, learning a new skill, or participating in discussions about the art. With the rise of slow museums, we gotta wonder: is less truly more for museums? Could this be the key to a deeper connection with art and culture? Would you rather have a curated, in-depth experience or the variety of a traditional museum? ?? #MuseumExperience #ArtAndCulture #CultureShift

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” This famous quote by Einstein is something we have all resonated with at some point. The reality is: Every child is different, and so are their learning styles. While the education system is striving to embrace this ideology, another learning space needs to adapt as well: museums. In our latest blog, we explore various strategies museums can implement to engage children and capture their attention.

Download: Museums and intangible cultural heritage. Towards a third space in the heritage sector https://lnkd.in/d8ShJ7su This book is concentrated around the concept of intersection. The many activities conducted by museum professionals and communities, groups and individuals (CGIs) related to intangible cultural heritage, are seen as colourful strings that at some point intersect and form diverse patterns. These patterns represent spaces that offer new and enriched insights into heritage. Throughout the book, we look for ways in which the different ‘paradigms’ can strengthen each other and how their ‘encounter’ creates a ‘third space’. A range of heritage professionals and ICH practitioners took part in this quest. We believe that the diversity of theoretical approaches and contribution formats reflects the values behind the diverse, holistic and integrated approach to heritage which this book wishes to promote. https://lnkd.in/d645MWnb
