Sorry for the late post of the weekly links.
A street artist recreates real crime scenes to advertise joining the police force. Could museums recreate historic events to promote their institution?
Infographics are both visually pleasing and informational. It would be interesting to see museums adapt this style to exhibits.
The National Museum of American History blogged about collecting the history of digital photography, a new field that will impact museum professionals.
Museum Minute had a great post about visiting a museum with family, rather than as a museum professional. As a graduate assignment, I did something similar and have also had interesting experiences with my family in museums. It's a different experience to go to a museum with someone that you know well, rather than just observing from a distance.
This cool graphic on US Post Offices over time is really great and reminds me of a few museum exhibits I've seen. This graphic is so subtle, I've had to watch it a few times.
There's been a lot of talk about who volunteers in America and how they do it, but this graphic presents it so well.
The Netherlands Museum Association made a great case for the social impact of museums.
This New York Times op-ed is an interesting perspective on how education may change. How do museums fit in?
