Worth the wait: _Understanding Use: Objects in Museums of Science and Technology_, ed. Tim Boon et al. (Open Access). In which Alison Boyle, James Inglis, Louis Volkmer and I show in our chapter, 'The Immaterial Turn?' that despite curatorial hand-wringing, museum objects tend not to feature in high-impact peer-reviewed history of science and history of technology journals. Rather, we show, they are important for a range of other communities of practice and outputs. https://lnkd.in/e4awmvGr

🎉 Happy New Year! As we step into 2024, may your year be filled with art and museum experiences. 🏛️ But let's not just visit museums. Let's question, reflect, and critically engage with them. 🎨 A museum is more than a collection of artefacts: it's an institution in service to society. 🌍 It must be open, accessible, inclusive, ethically operated and foster diversity, sustainability, and community participation. But do museums always live up to these ideals? 🤔 Next time you're in a museum, go beyond the exhibits. Take notes, ask questions, and critically reflect on the space itself. 📝✨ 🚀 Museums should be spaces for dialogue, debate, and confrontation! Let's collectively make an informed effort to engage with art, artifacts, and the spaces that house them in 2024. How do you see museums evolving in the coming year? #happynewyear #2024success #artandculture #arthistory #museums
