"Some of the most famous exhibits acquired their fame less from artistic merit than because they were nicked. The Mona Lisa, until it was stolen in 1911, was little known except to art enthusiasts; it took 26 hours for the Louvre to notice it had gone. [...] The Parthenon sculptures became “this great icon of Western art because they were removed”."

12 CDs, 5 museum guides, 1 novel. If you travel to different places, you run into many different #museums, #recordstores and #bookstores 😊.
Nice #souvenirs of 2,5 weeks of #TrainTravel throughout #Europe.

Probably one of the most interesting #musical #instruments #museums I know: Muzeum Instrumentów Muzycznych, in #Poznan. Great #collection, beautifully organized and exhibited.

@celset2 This troubling story (many content warnings apply) about a terrible event 90 years ago today is worth reading through to the end.

I love seeing behind the scenes at other institutions. This one holds some “in process” items for the comparative collections - in practice that often means road kill for small museums. #museums #NaturalHistoryCollections

The Netherlands will return colonial-era treasures to Indonesia and Sri Lanka, including a haul of treasure and a gem-encrusted bronze cannon.
The decision to return some 478 objects followed recommendations by a government-appointed commission last year looking into illegal Dutch colonial acquisitions now being displayed in museums in the Netherlands.

Visited the Wende Museum with @nathanielpiha yesterday. Small but nicely curated with a very specific theme: the Cold War behind the Iron Curtain. Not a celebration, but a remembrance. Very interesting. #spaceRace #ColdWar #Museums
