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 Arte Museum in Dubai has an interactive exhibition that brings sketches to life. Visitor’s drawings are fed into a machine that digitizes them and animates them in a room-sized digital safari. They also fill the room with the scent of wet soil to amplify the experience.
Het kan weer; met volle kracht vooruit. In vrijheid, zelfstandigheid en welzijn. Met dank aan mijn familie, en aan onze vrienden, collega's en kennissen die ons daarin hebben ondersteund ❤️
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."

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
Kontinuität gesichert: das westfälische Rotkreuzmuseum bleibt in Schlangen (Krs. Lippe).
Übrigens ist ein Besuch dort immer sehenswert! #DRK#Museum@drk
As a lawsuit about Marina Abramović’s 2010 MoMA retrospective makes its way through the courts, questions are being raised over museums’ duty towards the people working in boundary-pushing exhibitions. Is the act of harassing a performer akin to vandalizing the art?
On June 8th 2024, we'll have Federico Faggin in the museum and you can be there as well. Between 15:00 and 16:30 we have a meet&greet planned for visitors. Tickets are on sale now at https://www.homecomputermuseum.nl/tickets/

Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊
The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.
A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!
