Welcome

Hi!

I'm glad you found me here at RxMuse!  We are going to embark on a wonderful journey together. There will be laughs, I hope. Some blood boiling opinions and articles. And maybe even some tears. Together I hope we can explore new perspectives in museums, museum studies and cultural interactions with our collective material culture. I love talking about museums, their programs, and their collections and hope to hear from you about your experiences in galleries around the world.

Inspired by the workshop group Shut Up and Write Tuesdays (@SUWTues), who are helping me push through writers block... I am going to work on a piece of writing every week for the rest of the year (and hopefully far beyond!). The more conversations and adventures we have together the more inspired I will be to dive deeper and find new and interesting topics for us.  Until then you are stuck with my knowledge of medical history, hospitals and historic sites.  As if that isn't interesting, am I right??


Are you excited yet?  If you aren't, and you should be, we are going to have lots of fun. However, before we start I feel I need to offer a fair warning, a disclaimer if you will... I'm a PhD candidate and may be working on academic papers and not always blog posts (in fact I think my adviser would prefer me working on papers instead of this side project ;-) )  and your comments may point me into new and exciting directions.  I will not directly cite anything in my academic pursuits without first clearing it with my contributors.... so your opinions are "internet safe" if you will.

PS. If you are looking for ways to support my projects or get involved with museums don't hesitate to ask... we are a close community who help people achieve great things!
