Ask A Curator - September 13th 2017

12/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Tomorrow (September 13th) is Ask A Curator Day, and it’s a chance for people inside and outside of collections, museums, galleries and heritage venues to connect and chat -  with an impressive 1519 museums taking part!

It can be a good way to educate people on what curators actually do, open minds about what your collection holds and how it can be relevant. It can be a fun way to share and explore. Sometimes, the questions asked can lead to rethinking what visitors are interested in and would like to know more about.

You’ll find  #AskACurator being used on Instagram and twitter, so have a look, and see what is being nattered about.

If you want to see who is taking part, or be more involved (last minute!) see the details and sign your venue up here: http://www.mardixon.com/wordpress/askacurator-who-to-ask-sept-14-2016/

How come the most commonly damaged things in the museum are the “Please Do Not Touch” signs?
​
I suppose if they are being broken, it at least means the cabinets and displays aren’t?
