Do you know why #museums in many countries are closed on Mondays?

Sunday work can tire you out so much that you serve yourself coffee and an empty plate for breakfast.

Imagine if we were open on Mondays and you could hear a hearty snore in the exhibition! 😴 💤 (more in alt text)
BTW despite "don't touch" signs, we once found a child sleeping in one of the beds. The parents had fun in the cafeteria.

Big throwback to the early 1990s when I was just beginning my 30+ year career in the museum field. Why does it feel like yesterday? #MuseumProfessional #MuseumWork #1990s #ColonialWilliamsburg #CWF #HistoricTrades #Throwback

Colour photo from yesterday vs archival black & white image from 1970 - same ancient Roman glass flask, dated to about 275-325 CE. Both pics are important to keep as objects can change, even deteriorate, over the years.

Reflecting on 2022 & Kore670 loan to @romtoronto, I didn't really "see" this pic, though I took it! Acropolis Museum courier documents the condition of the kore before crating & transport back to Greece.

"London Ware" style bowl fragment, only 6.5cm tall but you can still see the pinpoints where the potter applied a compass to engrave the semi-circle motifs! c. 75-200 CE #MuseumWork #ChaîneOpératoire #Ceramics #Archaeology

Original art for Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz was originally published on 12/9/1981. What beautiful scribbling! I love Sally's careful consideration in panel two and her arm motion in the third panel.

Looking at Charles Schulz's single-panel Peanuts dailies for an exhibition project. This one was originally published on December 30, 1989. He was an absolute master of the space he was allotted.

This one reminds me of a story he told about drawing as a kid and figuring out how to show the thickness of the ice with the hole ... a useful technical detail for a kid from Minnesota who likes to draw funny pictures.

Be sure to keep your receipts! This one from Roman Egypt on the back of a broken piece of pottery, in ancient Greek script, dated 166 CE for Aprius Gemellus' half load of chaff to heat the baths. In the collections at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.

An ostrakon fragment with ancient Greek script recording money payments by several individuals. From Thebes, Egypt, dated about 100-200 CE. Broken bits of ceramic were often used as receipts.
