About MuseumBlogs.org
MuseumBlogs.org is a directory of museum and museum-related blogs as well as a space for re-postings and roundups. The purpose of the site is to raise awareness and increase the authority of blogs focusing on museum issues. Authority is used by search engines to filter results. The more links, the more authority and more visible a blog will become.
The Directory
A publicly editable, moderated directory provides a central website for listings to museum and museum-related blogs.
The Blog
We encourage re-posting from qualified blogs and bloggers. The aim of MuseumBlogs.org is to drive visitors to other museum blogs and increase their authority. If you're interested in re-posting or creating roundups which focus on the museum blog world, please feel free to contact us for password and log in information.
Who and Why?
This site was developed by Ideum. We're a small design company that develops interactive exhibits and websites for museums. The idea for MuseumBlogs.org came about after we developed a survey of museum blogs & community sites in March of 2006. One of the major outcomes was that the vast majority of museum blogs lack authority which was covered in a follow up post on the Ideum blog. It's our hope that MuseumBlogs.org will help increase communities’ awareness and authority.
Policies
MuseumBlogs.org is run as a public service and encourages community participation. The site does not accept commercial advertising of any kind.

Sir Paul McCartney is one of a number of celebrities to have submitted dog pictures and paintings to the Alive + Well Dog Project, to be auctioned in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The dogs have all been created using the same bizarre template ? although they also have their own peculiarities.
According to one report, Paul?s
contains ?wings, breasts and an evil eye?. Personally I think the sketch looks remarkably like another local character ?anyone else think it resembles a Liver Bird?
Other celebs that have been dabbling with the paint include Keith
Allen and Damien
Hirst. The Celebrity Dog pictures can be seen until 7th Feb at The Hospital, Covent
Garden. For more information visit www.thehospital.co.uk
For more on the
art of Paul McCartney visit our archive exhibition web pages.

Actually, if you’re not a teacher who has recently brought a class on a visit to one
of our venues you can stop reading now.
Our Learning department is
running a monthly draw to win free coach travel next time one of your classes visits
one of our venues. To be entered all you have to do is get your class to complete
a really simple and pretty fun online survey all about their visit. What’s
more, the feedback can be supplied to you so even if you don’t win you still get to
find out just how much attention they were really paying. More
details here.

Howdy!
I don’t know why, but the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal thinks I am sending them spam. If you click on the image, you will be able to see the screenshot of the bounced mail.
Then add to that, they are having a press conference for their three new exhibits, I asked if volunteers (who happen to be related to me could come) they said no. This after Marc Mayer has been busting his chops all over the city trying to reach out to Anglophone Montrealers. Last I checked I wasn’t related to anyone francophone.
I don’t understand why it is so frustrating dealing with them. (
Note to self: Breath deep, just keep taking deep breaths, it isn’t a matter of life and death.)

OK, I will admit that when I first heard the title of our newest exhibition, it wasn’t all that meaningful to me. I wasn’t sure what to expect in a show called Quantizing Effects: The Liminal Art of Jim Campbell. So I turned to Google and Wikipedia and found

It’s not nearly as subtle as the Colonial Williamsburg sketch from a couple months ago, but here’s some more history from Saturday Night Live. Enjoy!
