Leather stripped from Kennedy administration office chairs hang from the wall like flayed skin #GuggDetails

This reminds me of the Greek myth of Marsyas who was flayed for his act of hubris in challenging a god #GuggDetails

“My brother’s dead,” she says. Cool as ice. She takes a drag on a long cigarette. “Find out who did it.” #GuggDetails

Pawel Althamer’s portrait subjects included Deutsche Guggenheim museum staff & visitors #GuggDetails

As a behind-the-scenes museum pro, I want to know their motivations, hang ups, & experiences becoming subjects #GuggDetails @RobertsJen1

#ITMcllxn Q3: If you share museum collections on Twitter, what’s more important for you to share?

Co-collaborator@nealstimler

#ITMcllxn

How?Chats

A3: I know images are what attract attention on Twitter, but usually it’s a story or insight I want to share with the tweet #ITMcllxn

Diane Shaw@Museocat

A3: It’s important for collection sites to support Twitter Cards metadata. Twitter then auto includes image+text w/ the link #ITMcllxn

Paul Rowe@armchair_caver

A3: It depends on whether I’m more in a learning/teaching mood or just a “THIS IS RAD” mood. Always try to give some info though #ITMcllxn

Mell Scalzi@Doodleology

A3: I think images & description are important. Been thinking lots on accessibility lately, trying to do more descriptive tweets #ITMcllxn

Seek out the verso of art for a glimpse into the history of its documentation as a collected object #ITweetMuseumsThese objects seem precariously balanced, but look again, the

armature mounts are skillfully camouflaged! #MetDetails

Nothin’ like a good old utilitarian 15th century spanking (accession #64.101.1499) @metmuseum #ITweetMuseums

I so want #hipsters to revive the fashionable 15th century Venetian zazzera hairstyle! #ITweetMuseums

Is this visitor perplexed by the intricate mount? See it being installed here: bit.ly/MetDetails1 #MetDetails

How?Lecture tweets

I’m live-tweeting Politics, Money, & Anarchy: Historic House Museums @MuseumofCityNY. Follow via #SavingPlace. mcny.org/event/politics…

Reality check: most ppl don’t find HHMs very interesting. So how do you invite ppl in? Best source: @Meetup groups. @DERideas #SavingPlace

How?Lecture tweets

I’d welcome that these panelists talk for hours…but, it’s wrapping up. Good event & shared ideas. #SavingPlace
