“What has become really clear is that museums that receive state support are a bit less volatile in this situation,” said Julia Pagel, secretary general of the Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO), an umbrella for more than 30,000 museums in Europe. “What we also notice is that most museums are not able to open up alternative sources of income. That has to change; we have to come up with other sources of income that will work during a pandemic or another crisis — or, you never know.”

“The traditions of couscous, shared by Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania and Morocco, is a very tangible example that what brings countries together is stronger than differences. . . . At a time when tensions among countries arise, intangible heritage provides a red thread of human solidarity, and it is UNESCO’s role to strengthen this thread,” said Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO director general, in a statement to The Washington Post.
“Intangible” treasures from countries including Zambia, Singapore and Malta are among 2020’s new additions.

This Statement on the Violence at the US Capitol from the American Alliance of Museums speaks for many of us:
"...At this dark crossing of our nation's history, museums must lean toward their missions and face the challenge ahead of us fighting white supremacy by educating our communities, creating empathy, fighting misinformation and encouraging the stories and voices that are ahead they have endured on the margins. As interpreters and educators of history and culture, museums and museum professionals have the power to defend democracy and democratic norms, denounce intolerance and hatred, and fight for racial justice..."

Shedd Aquarium, where #ICOMMPR's former chair Meghan Curran works as Chief Marketing and Experience Officer, loaned its "KingFisher" to the Illinois Department of Public Health so it can be used to “extract DNA and RNA from biological samples, which is the first step” in #coronavirus testing...While it might take an entire day to process 20 samples by hand, the machine can do 90 samples in half the time, which is the equivalent to eight technicians working," according to the #Shedd.

The equipment can do in hours what it might take an entire day for technicians to do manually, speeding up the testing process for COVID-19 patients.

An architecture firm in the Netherlands is relocating the 271-year-old vessel to its home country with the intention of building an underwater museum around it.
#ICOMMPR
But first, they have to relocate the waterlogged vessel from England to Amsterdam, where it will be examined by experts.
Museums rely on artists to create compelling exhibitions, public programming, and sometimes even promotional materials. But during this unprecedented year, they’ve been leaning on them more than ever for something else, too: fundraising.
#ICOMMPR
As donors take their foot off the gas of arts giving, artists have been called in to reenergize them. It's a lot of pressure.
A landmark exhibition in Rijksmuseum will take a close look at the devastating effects of the centuries-long international slave trade, and how the Dutch benefited from its dark history.
#ICOMMPR
The highly anticipated show hones in on the lives of 10 individuals, including enslaved people and slaveholders.

ICOM – UNIGE conference: When Museums Go Online
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the digitization movement that has been carried out for several years within museums and which aims, among other things, to meet museums’ objectives of research, conservation, continuation and communication to society of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible. The legal issues associated with this movement are complex, with a disparity of solutions available to museums and laws that are sometimes inadequate, inappropriate or insufficient. In the long term, the acceleration of technologies also raises the question of the future of the museum experience.
#COVID19 #museums #ICOMMPR
DETAILS & LINK BELOW:
Jointly organized by ICOM and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) international conference will focus on the digitization of museum collections.
🌎Taking Action on Climate Change is a video series that addresses ways in which museum staff and museum visitors can engage in climate change action.
🧚♂️This five-part video series, created by the Alberta Museums Association in partnership with the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice and Shadow Light Productions Ltd, demonstrates how museums continue to facilitate and lead conversations around issues that are important to their communities as well as finding innovative and inclusive solutions that impact their future.

Museums across the United States are closing again in major cities due to COVID spikes:
"The Smithsonian will close the National Zoo and the seven museums it had reopened in stages since July and the National Gallery of Art will shutter its galleries in response to the Washington region’s recent spike in coronavirus cases.
"Similar shutdowns were announced earlier this week in Philadelphia and Chicago, representing the start of a second wave of shutdowns eight months after covid-19 first prompted widespread closures."

Meta-narratives are, however, subject to challenge and Carol concludes by looking at the impact of recent changes to meta-narratives which are having profound impacts on museums. GUEST: Carol Scott Carol Ann Scott is an international museum consultant who specialises in museum value. She has published widely in this area, most recently ‘Museums and Public Value: taking the pulse’ (2019) and ‘Museums, Branding and Values: harnessing the future’ (2020).

NARRATIVES. LONG STORY SHORT... Dear Colleagues, it was a hard decision to take. With a bleeding heart we have to cancel our conference for current reasons. At the moment, we cannot take responsibility for further preparing such an international conference. In Kassel, we are facing strict entry restrictions or possibly a shutdown by order of the local health department and are very concerned about health risks for staff members and our visitors. With the hope of your understanding. Take care of yourself & your families! Yours Matthias Henkel, Chair of ICOM MPR Peter Stohler, Host of the conference PS: We still ask you to save the date (September 21-26, 2020) - because we are currently evaluating the possibility of being able to deal with the topic using a digital format. This would also have the advantage of making an active contribution to environmental protection. Please stay tuned. And please follow us on TWITTER @ICOM_MPR and FACEBOOK and have a look at your website.
