I try to keep this blog focused on photography and baking, but every now and then I find something inspiring that I feel that I must share with everyone.  I am mastering in museum studies and it is sometimes depressing realizing all the troubles that museums are facing both internally and externally.  It’s almost hard not to think that museums won’t be able to survive for much longer with so many being forced into foreclosure due to lack of finances and traditional mindsets (that is as broad as I can make their problems…and trust me, there are many). 

But some museums are surfacing with creative and brilliant ideas that might just help keep museums around.  In my lecture today, I was introduced to the website ArtBabble.  It is a website that consists of videos of artwork, interviews, etc. What makes it so brilliant is that it allows people to learn about the artwork if they can’t see it in person and hear so many different opinions on it.  There is no longer the one interpretation of the curator because there isn’t one correct way to view it. There are multiple and this website encourages that sharing and learning.  It is fantastic and I encourage all of you to check it out!
