It is an open study/storage facility displaying about thirty-three hundred objects from the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. We are storage, after all.

This month, we're thinking about the way we do work in museums. As someone texted me recently, Art History grad school didn't teach us anything about working with others in museums. Sharing articles that work is a great reason to stay on Museum Twitter by the way. Exposure to all sectors of museum work is important.

I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.

But not enough people care about it anymore, and the museum is fading into disrepair. The Silk Mill is part of the Derby Museums , a public institution of art, history, and natural history.

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. You can create small posters for sponsor businesses to show off that they are giving back and sponsoring your org, team, project, or campaign. This can include museums, archives, galleries, etc.

Every day for the past two months, a man has entered the largest gallery in my museum. His project, Is It Necessary? It also complicates the question of what is acceptable in a museum. If an artist can come into a museum and smash stuff, what does that tell visitors? But art museums are coming back from the dead.
