Questions
Which museums do a great job of modeling sustainable practices? What happens when museums receive more visitors through their website than through their front door?

Quotes
He who views only the products of his only country may be said to inhabit a single world while those who see and consider the productions of other climes bring many worlds in review before them. - [|Carl Linnaeus] (1754), cited by Roger Fyfe [|Macmillan Brown Lecture #1, 2010]

It's ironic that the term "world class"--which should embody an international panoply of forms of expression, presentation, and exploration of museum content--is instead used to hew to a singular vision of excellence. - Nina Simon, [|Why is "World Class" so Classist?]

Visitors are people. They are not numbers. They are not dollars. They are not deliveries. They are people who have experiences with art in art museums. I'm dismayed that the same critics who decry Deitch's disregard for artists and curators treat the public as an unimportant commodity in museums. Why do these critics care so much about the influence of money and so little about the influence of audiences? Why do they focus on what bait is presented to lure visitors in and not on what opportunities are made to engage them? - Nina Simon, []

Essay: What's wrong with museums
Museums are stale. Expensive. Exclusive. Do not connect with community. Do not have adequate web presence.

Relevant, useful ideas emerge. You can find patterns and threads. It's a window into many other worlds through links and exchanges. And ultimately, it simply gives you insights and perspectives from so many people that would be otherwise impossible to access without extreme effort.” So I hope you join us, as well as recruiting as many other interesting people as you can (in and out of museums) to tweet in and contribute to this fertile collision of fields. - Cindy Frewen (@Urbanverse), [|museumers-meet-futurists-futurists]

Wikiloot
The idea behind WikiLoot is simple: 1. Build a collaborative web platform for the publication and analysis of primary source records and photographs documenting the illicit trade in looted antiquities. 2. Use social web and other tools to engage a broad, international network of contributors — experts, curators, journalists, investigators, academics and curious citizens — in the tagging, linking and analysis of that material. 3. With these tools, develop an authoritative public database of the illicit trade that can be used to further the public’s understanding of the scope of looting. http://chasingaphrodite.com/wikiloot/
