Ars Technica: With help from data, art museums are reframing the visitor experience. “Museums take this educational role seriously, and many institutions understand the need to sustain and broaden their appeal…. To aid this transition, museums and other cultural institutions are increasingly using data to inform decisions about how to present the works they house.”

#LittleFreeLibraries are turning into '#LittleBeeLibraries' to give #pollinators a cozy place to rest

May 28, 2026

"Rachael Harms Mahlandt specializes in 'sidewalk joy.'

"For years, the #PortlandOR artist, who goes by @pdxdinorama on social media, has been helping her neighbors transform ordinary walkways, curb gardens, and front yards into colorful, interactive art installations.

"Through the Worldwide Sidewalk Joy Map, Harms Mahlandt encourages artists around the world to 'add whimsy' to their own neighborhoods with tiny #PuzzleLibraries, #WishingTrees, #ToySwaps, miniature #ArtMuseums, #PlantExchanges, #DinoDioramas — and, of course, little #FreeLibraries.

"And one of her latest additions to the list isn’t just sparking joy; it’s helping the pollinators in her neighborhood thrive.

"On May 5, Manlandt shared a video of a Little Bee Library, a #bookbox that had been transformed into a miniature garden for local pollinators to rest and recharge."

The Benefits of an Afternoon at the Art Museum.
Educators and psychologists have long recognized the benefits of art creation as part of a child’s education. But simply spending time among great works of art can be even more rewarding. That’s why I invite you to skip the pool or park one Saturday afternoon and take your kids to an art museum instead.

Saturday, we were in #Minneapolis to see the exhibit #Art and Politics in #Germany 1918-1945 at the MIA, featuring incredible masterworks from Berlin's Neue Nationgalerie. It's powerful, and really shook me. The parallels between that period of German history and what we are seeing in the USA today in terms of attempts by state actors to bring the arts to heel, is unmistakable. Strongly recommend this exhibit, and Minneapolis is the place to see it.
