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.

It has been fascinating to see how people respond to the animal "portraits" in Oudry’s Painted Menagerie. I deliberately emphasize that the animal paintings in this show are portraits, because they are, in my mind, renderings by a formally trained people-painter of specific animal individuals…Read more…

I’m fairly sure I stole that title off someone, or maybe a bunch of someones. Let’s hope it’s Creative Commons.
Anyway, it’s one of the things I bang on about a lot of the time - bridging the gap between the virtual world (”sit forward, single-focus, move mouse, engage”) and the real
