Some of the aircraft on show at the superb Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. The museum occupies the control tower and surrounding area of what was once RAF Dumfries, two miles north-east of the centre of Dumfries.

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.
See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?
One of my favorite museums is The Ringling Museum of Art in Florida. This photo shows one of the fountains in the museum's central courtyard, which displays recreations of notable statues from the Classical, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical periods. #MythologyMonday

Another day, another unflattering portrait of a public figure, and this time, the Streisand effect is in play too. TIME magazine reports on Australia's wealthiest person, Gina Rinehart, and her attempts to get a painting of her removed from the National Gallery of Australia. The portrait by Vincent Namatjira, an Aboriginal Australian artist, is part of a series in which he uses humor and exaggerated features to portray the rich. “People don’t have to like my paintings, but I hope they take the time to look and think, ‘why has this Aboriginal bloke painted these powerful people? What is he trying to say?’” he said in a statement shared with TIME. The gallery, to which Rinehart is a donor, is not backing down, saying it “welcomes the public having a dialogue on our collection and displays.”
Das Landesmuseum ist eindeutig viel zu unbekannt, dafür, dass die Ausstellung so schön ist. Natürlich gibt es auch hier ein paar Kritikpunkte, aber alles in allem, ist das #Museum absolut sehenswert:
It's aimed at anyone who fits the aforementioned bill and is interesting in exploring the mathematical potential of their stories, objects and exhibitions, with participation in Maths Week Scotland in mind.
I love this rather wonderful creature which features on the fireplace in the boardroom of the former Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company on Govan Road in Glasgow. It's now home to the Fairfield Heritage Museum.
More photos taken around the Castle Museum of Saginaw County History, featuring the hallway, spiraling staircase, a model of a carousel, statue of Abraham Lincoln, an early 20th Century car, post office, and my favorite area: A reconstruction of the Myer Bros. Jewelry Store (1914-1974) which I believe is still the original cabinets, along with some photos of some wares. Shot in June 2023.
St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, built in 1993 close to Glasgow Cathedral and on the site of the long-lost Glasgow Castle. Its castle-like exterior is an attractive reminder of the earlier occupant of the site. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glasgow/stmungomuseum/index.html
"The House that Art Built” is a historic showcase in San Francisco.
In addition to the exhibition, which features 11 artists associated with the Oakland-based nonprofit Creative Growth, SFMOMA has also permanently acquired more than 100 works created by artists with developmental disabilities.
Did you know there is a Crochet Museum? It's very cute.
"Among the eclectic collection you’ll find just about every conceivable type of item, represented in crochet form. There are animals like poodles, bears, and unicorns. There are also more abstract designs, like smiley faces and lumpy little creations that are less identifiable."
Inside the outstanding Museum of the Isles at Armadale Castle near Armadale on the Isle of Skye's Sleat Peninsula. Here you can discover the stories of Clan Donald and of the people who lived in the West Highlands through the ages.

Au #musée des Confluences, j'ai eu la chance de voir travailler la responsable de l'atelier des #moulages : elle réalisait des copies de sécurité d'objets très rares, mais aussi des exemplaires pour des #chercheurs éloignés et pour les médiateurs.
Seul un examen attentif permettait de distinguer la copie de l'original.
Pas de souci avec l'exemplaire de cet homme barbu, copie dédicacée d'une #statue#égyptienne.
Jahrestagung Museumsbund in Aschaffenburg – zum Auftakt sind wir zu Besuch im Kirchnerhaus, dem Geburtshaus Ernst Ludwig Kirchners (der morgen Geburtstag hat!). Seit gut 10 Jahren ist hier ein Museum, das aus einer privaten Initiative heraus entstanden ist. Wir beginnen mit einer Führung und sprechen am Schluss über die Möglichkeiten der digitalen Rekonstruktion eines verlorenen Kirchner-Gemäldes. #DMB24#Museum#Ausstellung
