Scaryyyy

Spotting your book on someone else's bookshelf is always a delightful sight. You know you've truly made it when you can detect a fine layer of dust gracefully outlining the last copy that sold. :) Very avant-garde. 📚✨😄 #ai #artificialintelligence #artificialintelligenceforbusiness #business #machinelearning #booklovers #book #bookcommunity #bookclub

What works works well in using arts and creativity as a means of addressing loneliness? How can this learning can be applied to other sectors and strands of work for improved community connection? Hear from Leonardo Bravo (The Museum of Modern Art) at Loneliness: The next five years and be part of this conversation: https://lnkd.in/esseZRBG

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

Towards adopting more environmentally sustainable practices.

Trust is a powerful word, especially when it comes to museums. But what happens when 'trust' becomes something we actively promote rather than something we quietly earn? Amanda Krantz's article challenges the comfort many find in labeling museums as 'trusted' institutions. Her reflections urge us to reconsider how we talk about trust in the museum sector—highlighting the delicate balance between influence and responsibility. Amanda's piece reminds us that trust isn't a label to be worn proudly, but a dynamic relationship to be continuously nurtured. https://lnkd.in/gGVgNbsY #LearningHub #insight #MuseumInsight

Reposting our recent research about Museums on ‘International Museum Day’ celebrated globally today. The central thread of the day is museums as a vital space to shape social and historical narratives as well as to celebrate diversity (UNESCO,2024). In our paper, we explore existing knowledge about digitalisation and digitisation used in museum narratives and curatorship, to demonstrate how these processes impact the role of museums and memory-making. #MuseumDay Yap, J.

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!

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!"
