Question for the #museum hivemind. Can you provide any examples of fantastic large scale audio-visual experiences in museum exhibitions? Am thinking of examples that are both visually stunning and thought-provoking / informative. I know there are lots of immersive art experiences at the moment but I am looking for examples of (good) large scale AV exhibits used as part of museum exhibitions. As an example, here's one I loved. It was the concluding exhibit in The Sun: living with our star at the Science Museum. It was a huge scale projection of footage showing the surface of the sun at different wavelengths. #exhibition #visitorexperience #exhibitiondesign #museums

#CaseStudy Have you ever wondered what's behind a museum renovation? We're excited to share our first Case Study on the project we've been working on since 2021 for the Rovereto Civic Museum Foundation (Fondazione Museo Civico di Rovereto). Our contribution has included staff training, a gradual reinstallation of all museum galleries, and the development of a new interpretive apparatus. It has involved various roles and skills from the We Exhibit team in the development of: ~ Exhibition Design: reinstallation of the museum's exhibition spaces and renovation of the interpretive apparatus to improve accessibility and engagement; ~ Workshops: training staff on accessibility, communication, interpretation, and evaluation issues to facilitate smoother comparison and exchange during the redesign phase.

📝 How to Cite a Physical Location or Event in MLA Style 🌍 Did you know you can cite real-world places and events in MLA format too? Whether it’s a historic site, an art exhibit, or a concert, MLA has you covered! Here's how to do it: Format: Description or Title of Event. Title of Container, Date of Event, Location. 👉 Example: Van Gogh Art Exhibit. The Met Museum, 10 Aug. 2024, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Keep in mind: Use italics for the container (e.g., museum, venue). Include the full date and location details. 🎯 Pro Tip: If it’s part of a larger event, include that in your citation as the container! #MLAStyle #CitingSources #AcademicTips #MLAFormat

The Maritime Museum of Barcelona While the Barcelona Maritime Museum houses a fascinating collection of maritime history, it fell short of my expectations in comparison to other museums such as the Hamburg Museum, Newport Museum or the Edinburgh Museum. The signage was confusing, and the arrangement of exhibits lacked coherence, detracting from the overall experience. These issues were significant enough for me to note them in the museum’s feedback notebook. #MaritimeMuseumBarcelona #MuseumExperience #HistoryInSight #SignageConfusion #ExhibitArrangement #VisitorFeedback #MuseumCritique #CulturalExpectations #NavigationalChallenges #HeritagePreservation #MuseumJourney #HistoricalInsights #MaritimeCollection #MuseumStandards #VisitorExperience #FeedbackMatters #ImprovementNeeded #CulturalComparison #barcelona #ExpectationVsReality #MuseumVisit @MaritimeMuseumBCN MuseumViews @CulturalHeritage @MuseumCritics @VisitorVoices @motto.panah

Half of the most-visited museums worldwide in 2022 were situated in the United Kingdom or the United States according to the most recent issue of the Theme Index and Museum Index report by the Themed Entertainment Association and researchers at AECOM. However, the Louvre remained at the top with 7.7 million annual visitors. The Parisian art museum, probably best known for housing da Vinci's Mona Lisa, has ranked first regarding attendance since the 2012 edition of the report started including museums, with one exception in 2016. Even with the overall visitor numbers recovering from the coronavirus pandemic dip, almost all top-ranking museums still struggle to reach pre-pandemic attendance numbers. For example, in 2019, 9.6 million people visited the Louvre. The 7.7-million figure from 2022 therefore represents a 20 percent decrease compared to the last year before the classification of COVID-19 as a pandemic, even though numbers increased by 173 percent between 2021 and 2022.

According to UNESCO intangible cultural heritage are the traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, among others the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts. All over the world capable hands replicate movements that have developed during centuries and they create traditional objects as well as innovative elements. Museums are the perfect place to learn about the past, the lace schools such us the Il Giardino dei Punti in Milan or workshops like UnPizzo in Cantu are the perfect place to meet women that are innovating today. In all our journeys the encounter with those who preserve and pass down intangible cultural heritage is central. People are our main destination.

My first demo reel, hope y'all like it! tried taking another approach with the demo reel stuff and go off way a little by displaying it as a museum. I mainly specialise in prop art and environment art. #3d #demoreel #environmentart #3dprops
