Weekly Links: Aug 20-26

Still haven't managed to put up a post, but it's coming soon!

Archive.org has launched an archive of 3,000+ hours of 9/11 TV coverage. It's still hard for me to watch coverage. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Smithsonian Magazine is offering a free museum day across the country. Check out this list to see if there's a museum near you.

The National Media Museum created a platform video game to engage visitors in selecting objects for an exhibit. I don't know if anyone else has been keeping up with gaming in museums, but it's a particularly interesting topic to me.

Urban redevelopment is picking up across the country and St. Louis's Citygarden is an excellent example. Can museums fill similar roles in creating a sense of community?

Pop-up restaurants for museums can offer a great way to engage visitors outside of the traditional visit.
