"Sometimes, you have 
no choice but to innovate. Social media continually breaks down barriers between institutions and visitors.” -Rachel Gonzalez (Experience Developer, Science Museum of Minnesota) What Rachel Gonzalez says is quite true and the best quote for this subject, so it would be better to start writing here. Cover photograph: Visitors in the Omnitheater via Science Museum of Minnesota Museum Ecosystem by Kajsa Hartig (Head of Museum Experience and Collections at Västernorrlands Museum) The mapping of Kajsa Hartig is vital for museology, and even new updates can be added to the ecosystem. “How can museums use Youtube to attract visitors and expand their access? Youtube is the new TV today. But Youtube is actually much more than television. It is one of the largest social media platforms on the Internet, where people apply for information, entertainment and interaction. Users have only been registered in 2015, where they watched more than 70 million hours of video. This...

The most important artworks are collected... in a film. CHILDREN OF MEN (Translated into Turkish as "Last Hope")  A great adaptation that even the world's most important artworks are in shadows... We shared an article about the film and the book in 2021, the article is not available now :) Anyway... So we thought it would be better to include some details in the film. Anyway, our main title is... art :) It contains SPOILER after here, let's have already made the warning.  -SPOILER ALERT- The film is an adaptation from P.D. James' book of the same name, published in 1992. Director of the movie: Alfonso Cuarón. Cast of the film: Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor... even Ed Westwick... Even if it has a very short scene. Definitely... watch the movie, read the book... It is a real advice. The film starts in 2027 with a scene in London. Our main character, Theo, is a ministry employee who has had great ideals in the past, even some attempts, b...

+Which collection would you like to examine as a museologist? -Google Art Project's collection. + OMG! Does Google have a museum? -Doesn't it..? The fact that people still expect a "structure" and seek physical experience when it comes to museums is unfortunately not a "thinking structure" suitable for the concept of G11N (short form Globalization). Google Art Project, more commonly known as Google Arts & Culture, has brought together the collections of more than 2000 museums, art galleries and cultural institutions, making it accessible from anywhere in the whole world. While most museums with a structure don't have a mission and vision - we still discuss them in sessions - Google Arts & Culture does: "Preserve and bring the world’s art and culture online so it’s accessible to anyone, anywhere." We call it the world's largest museum because the common question of the articles on Google Arts & Culture is: "How Does the Worl...

Do you know which group of museum visitors you belong to? We said that the museologists are talking! But it seemed like they were not keeping quiet :) Thank you for all your congratulatory messages for our "Meet The Museologist" corner and our previous article, and for your efforts to encourage, they all yielded results. Now we are quickly moving from MoMA to GoMA. Yes, GoMA, not MoMA, I spelled it right. Photograph: galleryofmodernart.blog In February, I received a course from  University of Glasgow  in the field of Museology - how surprised you were - to make museums the source of learning and I have just completed.  Gallery of Modern Art  (GoMA) is located in the center of Glasgow, with 4 main gallery, a library and a museum store. GOMA did not say "we are somehow Scotland's most visited museum, what is the need for museology course" and they deal with University of Glasgow's Museology educators and prepare an intensive content course program.  Of course...

MEET THE MUSEOLOGIST! Hi everyone, I'm Destina Hande, it's my turn to take-over in "meet the museologist" corner for today. Now, after three years those who follow ART & TOWN regularly know me, but many of you don't really know me because I'm not around much. I am a museologist and also a translation specialist and content creator of ART & TOWN. My previous experiences include working in a museum, an art gallery, working in a magazine, with brand groups, working in one of the world's leading foreign language education institutions, translating art and artist books, creative writing, setting up exhibitions... and art consultancy as well. The things I don't count are on my CV. At this point, I think you are wondering about my education, I am a graduate of Saint-Michel French High School, I have my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Yıldız Technical University, I have received various trainings in Paris and London, and my biggest hobbies are...

After our Dundee Waterfront and Galataport reviews, now the West Kowloon Cultural District's turn which has been registered as the world's largest cultural project.
