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.

Or maybe the more appropriate question is, “What does technology have to do with art?” It is a question often asked in the face of ever-more pervasive digital content. There are so many ways that art can benefit from technology. It is likely that you are having one

The Indianapolis Museum of Art has been active on Flickr for a while now, though we are still figuring out how to best use the photo-sharing site. Many of us have our own Flickr accounts, (on mine you can find examples of my international intrigue as well as pics of

I took a peek at our Google Analytics numbers and it appears that many IMA Blog readers used the holiday weekend to spend time doing things other than read our blog. That’s okay, I suppose, but you will have some catching up to do this week, so I will keep

The spring semester has ended and they are starting to pour in to the museum. Who, you ask? Summer interns. Each year they invade about this time, filing in for orientation, standing in line for security processing and making their way in to departments all over the museum.
