How about a visit to an amazing automotive museum? This one is in Los Angeles, it's called the Petersen and if you're in LA, do put aside a day to go visit this place. Gorgeous building, incredible collection. Buy a pass to enter the Vault, no cameras allowed but you get to see more of their collection, tucked in the basement. All sorts of vehicles!
Today: guide a group at Stensö #Castle, deliver Aska finds to the County #Museum, look at the #longhouse platforms at Agla in Överjärna, #boardgames night. All wearing shorts and sandals for the first time this year!
His former home and office is now a #museum dedicated to his legacy. High up inside the Sir John Soane’s Museum, a room has stood unseen for the last 200 years
where Soane’s draftsmen and apprentices worked with #Soane on the designs that shaped the neo-classical architectural character of Regency era London.
Now, after a year of restoration works, visitors can see the room where Soane created the blueprints that would change the course of #architecture in London.
I wrote about a new study that found that, although online #art overall has a positive effect on people's moods (just like #museum visits), not everyone responds to it equally well. #science#scicomm#writing#WroteThis
Anyway, enough blather, here's the link, I'd appreciate any support you can throw my way. My museum is a nonprofit so if I end up with extra money I usually put it into that. One day I hope we end up in our own building, but we are at least in a physical location as we speak.
I received a nifty grant to travel with 12 Colgate Univ #museumstudies students in January 2024. 5 days in DC and 3 days in NYC.
I've got a rough itinerary planned: combo of art, history, and natural history/science.
I'm very eager to make contact with curators, educators, and others working in museum spaces to give these students a great experience and hopefully some behind the scenes access.
The larvae are exceptionally shy of light. Studies by the Page Institute for Global Lignine Research show: Imagines are extremely rare, they only develop with adequate reading. Feeding alternative: #Brain#orchids.
The Rosetta stone has been the key to decrypt the Egyptian hieroglyphics system, as the same text is written in three #languages: #Egyptian, Demotic and #Greek.
