Great again? The rise of nostalgic nationalism 📈

We're living through a time of extremism, division and collective forgetting. But Rachael Lennon believes museums have the power to seed hope and cohesion.

🏛️ On #InternationalMuseumDay we revisit our conversation with Françoise Vergès, scholar, activist, and author of "A Decolonial Feminism".

She asks the questions museums rarely dare to: who gets to tell the story? Whose objects are these, really? And what would a truly decolonised institution look like?

A provocation. A necessity. A listen.

Happy International Museum Day. To celebrate here is a photo of the famous dinosaur gallery at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. The Giraffatitan still holds the record (I think) for the tallest reconstructed dinosaur skeleton exhibit in the world.

Let's celebrate museums!
What's your favourite?

Guggenheim Bilbao Museum

SpainFrank Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao Museum was a game-changer when it opened in 1997 in Spain’s Basque country. Its swooping forms and reflective surface set a new standard for what contemporary museums could look like and how they could transform a city’s identity.

The #Louvre Museum in #Paris, France, is the world's largest art museum, housed within a historic royal palace complex that spans more than 70,000 square meters of exhibition space.

It welcomes millions of visitors annually to view its unrivaled collection of over 38,000 masterworks, including iconic treasures like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and the ancient Greek sculpture Venus de Milo.

Rounded buildings meant to mimic the stars and planets make up the new Shanghai Museum of Astronomy by David Adjaye and Zaha Hadid architecture. A glowing oculus at the entrance tracks the movement of the sun.

#AgendaFallera | Jornada de portes obertes al Museu de l'Artista Faller

Amb motiu del Dia Internacional de los Museos - #IMD202 - i baix el lema: "Museus unint un món dividit”, el Museu de l'Artista Faller organitza una jornada de portes obertes

#InternationalMuseumDay

@hpod16 In Finland, my favourite museum is Theatre Museum in Helsinki. The exhibitions are great, but there's also a lot to do, and a minuscule stage with costumes, props and lights to try out.

Internationally, it would be The Light Art Museum in Unna, Germany, especially the James Turrel Skyspace. That's only open rarely, though, and in any case it's good to book the tickets way ahead.

A message from Emma Nardi,
President of the International Council of Museums – ICOM.

The museum is no longer just a place for specialists, but an element of communication and progress for all citizens. Museums exhibit collections, but also establish a dialogue on sustainable development, preserve tradition, and open new debates regarding diversity and decolonisation

They tell me it is international museum day, so I figured I'd celebrate by posting this essay from May of 2020. The Philadelphia Museum of art had reopened its new galleries of European Art in March. I'd popped in for a quick look, figuring I'd be back for a leisurely visit, but then the pandemic hit and the city closed down

By May I was desperate for something to write about, but I remembered the new galleries. So I interviewed the curator over the phone from my memory of a 20 minute visit two months earlier. Years later, we chatted again about Mary Cassatt, but that first interview was a highlight in sad times.

Today's #MythologyMonday is celebrating #InternationalMuseumDay with talk about mythological art in museums :)

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.

See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Birmingham Museum of Art in #birminghamalabama In particular, the Italian and French Medieval and Renaissance collection. We only had an hour to spend but could have stayed much longer. 💜
