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

Towards adopting more environmentally sustainable practices.

The year is half over but it's never too late to start developing a habit of planning! If you aren't getting together to plan with your co-workers yet, download my free museum planning calendar and start today. Having the conversation will ensure that everyone is on the same page and that each department's priorities are aligned. Here's the link: https://lnkd.in/gKRc9cK3

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.

We need to teach all who will listen

Keeping a museum sparkling clean isn't just about dusting off exhibits. It's ensuring each artwork shines & stories remain untold, unhindered. Making history look as good as new, day after day. #ArtCare #schoolcleaningservices #restaurantcleaningservice #specialeventcleaning
