Museums and blogs
Tyler Green’s post on Modern Art Notes this morning prompted me to write a post on the museum blogs that I read, which I have been meaning to do for a while. Truth be told, I keep up with more blogs that are museum-related or about local arts than blogs produced by the museums themselves. Hope you like them.
Blogs by and about other museums:
Eye Level - Smithsonian American Art Museum blog
Brooklyn Museum blog
Modern Blog - MAMFW
Library of Congress blog
CultureGrrl
Modern Art Notes
Museum issues (or at least the ones I deal with):
Fresh + New(er) - Powerhouse Museum (Australia) technology blog
Musematic technology blog
Digitzation 101 technology blog
Collectanea copyright blog
Adventures in Collection Management
Local arts blogs:
KERA Arts +Culture blog
West and Clear Fort Worth events blog
Fort Worth Weekly blog
Are there any good ones that I’ve missed? Post your recommendations in comments.

Funny, I just stumbled across ExhibiTricks this morning (linked from a listserv I think?). Thanks for the tips Rena. I’m off to spend some time at Blog Cabin Village (great name, btw)!
Thanks, Jana! I love following the Carter’s blog…keep up the great work!
I keep an eye on a ton of museum blogs, and was just tickled pink to see you mention Adventures in Collection Management today! Thanks for the nod.
You may have seen it already, but I quite like Smithsonian’s Office of Exhibits Central blog for a behind the scenes look at exhibits.
