Thinking about our discussion today about the Walker's blogs and all of the good work they're able to do with such sincerity and authenticity makes me think about their mission-- I have to look it up.  We expect an awful lot from museums, or the people who work there, I should say.  It is truly amazing that the folks at the Walker not only take the time, but also share the institutional value for spending resources engaged in meaningful communication with their audiences.  I know that the families who visit me at the museum might enjoy my pictures and thoughts about or work and play together, but my institution isn't set up to engage in a virtual dialog.  I wonder if it would ever be possible, and with such limited resources, what I would have to not do to make the time.

Good point about the institutional commitment, Rachel. IT really does become apparent what is valued by an organization by what they choose to put out there to represent themselves. I wonder if AIC would ever be open to a blog like this, or if it's the kind of thing that would get bogged down in the bureacracy (institutional admin, marketing, pr, web folks all weighing in before anything could be published). What if you used this blog as an outlet for those thoughts and maybe one day it evolves into something shared on the museum website?
