For every experience, there is a priceless piece of memorabilia. The Neon Museum and Tropicana preserved the legacy of the iconic property by re-illuminating the iconic sign since becoming part of the collection. This piece of signage came from the property’s porte-cochere and was installed as part of a renovation in 1978. Designed by Jack Dubois and Raul Rodrigues, it was acquired by The Neon Museum in 2010 and now lives proudly above the patio in front of the Museum Store. The Neon Museum is open daily and includes an outdoor exhibition. https://yhoo.it/3TL4X0v

So much to say about this project: 1.) We had an engaged client who trusted us to take risks 2.) We aligned clearly on vision from the get-go 3.) We had gorgeous content to design around and be inspired from And I think it’s paid off. We won an award. We’re getting some attention through various industry channels. It’s nice to feel validated, but the secret sauce was this: we had a client who shared our values. We’ve been talking a lot internally about our superpowers, our stories and values. One thing remains consistent: We believe the mundane can be marvelous. That being status quo is actually riskier than digging for authenticity. That brands who are brave and have a POV will always cut through the noise. Kudos to our amazing clients, friends and collaborators over at The Mansion. If you are local and a history buff, please do yourself a favor and visit (or at least poke around the site’s virtual tour!)

The Louise Steinman von Hess Foundation entrusted Bom Bom to create a unique website for Wright’s Ferry Mansion, an 18th-century historic house museum. Because of its close quarters and faithful historic preservation, visitation is limited. To serve those unable to visit the property, an interactive experience was created to offer a rich digital journey through the Mansion. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve won an Honorable Mention Award from awwwards.com for our work on this project, and the site is being featured on siteofsites.co!

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

#Legacy150: 'The Museum will not be Decolonised' conference schedule is now live https://lnkd.in/gyTEreAh Sumaya Kassim writes that “Museums are not neutral in their preservation of history. In fact, arguably, they are sites of forgetfulness and fantasy”. Her discussion was based on work she and colleagues did with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and it holds true of many museums throughout the UK. It is the “forgetfulness” of the objects’ lived history and the “fantasy” of these objects being out of time that is endemic in museum spaces. In this conference we discuss objects held in non-ethnographic museums and explore what they mean as representations of human experience, how we can accurately represent their lived experience using digital technologies and their weight as political and social signifiers in the contemporary world. The conference provides a space for interested parties to discuss the ways objects are presented and their histories represented.

Are you able to think outside of the box (or inside of tight spaces), see the below for a great example of how to make a difficult task simple. One advantage of NOT having outriggers.
Tight spaces are no challenge for our telecrawlers! That’s what this complex stair install at the National Medal of Honor Museum was the perfect job for our #Liebherr LTR 1100. #BucknerHeavyLiftCranes #Buckner #findyoursolution #crawlercranes 📸 Bosworth Steel Erectors

Adopt a Brick is only the beginning of what looks like an inspiring and inspirational journey. Also, there's the video if you like a bit more visual: https://lnkd.in/eZrvt3FV!
Dundee Museum of Transport is looking to move to a permanent new home in Dundee's last remaining tram depot at Maryfield. They have just launched a crowdfunder campaign to support a key cost - repairing the brickwork. £10 can support the repair of a brick. £25,000 needed. Link to the appeal in the comments. As of 29th November it stands at £21280 - but every penny will help! #museumoftransport #crowdfunder #museumoftransport #museumofthefuture Dundee Museum of Transport
