Some people enjoy running their fingers along a row of books, looking for one that catches their eye. Others love wandering past shelves filled with board games, drawn to the artwork or the imaginative setting. Book lovers love the smell of paper and ink, while board gamers relish the scent of a new box. Flicking through pages or rifling through components is part of the thrill. Collections are more than mere possessions. They offer manifold possibilities, shaped by curiosity, memory, and imagination. In this article, I want to look at what unites book and board game collectors.

#Drumpf #WhiteSupremacist rooted attacks on #diversity in DC #museums and cultural institutions more than worries most #curators, trained museum staff and passionate longtime #historians.

A recent #ExecutiveOrder purge cancelled roughly 92% of the Institute of #Museum and #Library Services agency's Grants across U.S. States with only 100 grants surviving out of the original 1,200 managed by the institute prior.

@Kleen Thank you for the link. Finding Mavis Pusey’s work and spirit is a testament to the relentless efforts of curators and scholars. Despite the discouraging advice of a famous person about not needing more art historians, this Philadelphia exhibition offers a window into an important recent cultural context, as well as an engaging contemplative experience.

Remembrance of Scents Past.

At museums, #curators are incorporating #smells that can transport visitors to a different time.

Tasha Marks is a scent designer who works with museums, heritage sites, and other cultural spaces to create odors that can open an instant portal to the past

tfw trying to look up info so as to repost some cool art from tumblr, and instead finding a curator account that's slipping AI slop in the style of famous painters into a stream of verifiably real artworks  

👉 decadadedecadencia dot tumblr dot com

what's annoying is a number of the forgeries are quite good, in the sense that if they were made by the human claimed, they would merit hanging somewhere for people to see.
