The Timeline is a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated by the Museum's collection. It is an invaluable reference and research tool for students, educators, scholars, and anyone interested in the study of art history and related subjects.

The Museum's curators, conservators, and educators research and write the Timeline, that continues to expand in scope and depth and reflect the most up-to-date scholarship.

Auch fuers Brooklyn Museum gilt: weniger ist mehr. As museums look for ways to attract more visitors, social media has become a key tool in drawing people along and engaging them. Some museums are trying to be more creative with social media, but step one is to make use of the main tools. Brooklyn Museum is certainly doing that. It has a main web site, a blog, a Facebook Page, a Twitter presence, a Flickr account, a Tumblr, a Foursquare, and more.

This paper looks at the use of cell phones for tours of cultural sites in Europe. Although several projects have experimented with IVR, SMS and even multimedia tours on standard and next-generation networks, take-up of this platform by museums has remained low in comparison to US activity, despite cell phone usage being more wide-spread and longer-developed than in North America. Through case studies of recent phone tour projects at Tate Modern and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, we examine what the key differences and similarities are between phone-based tours on the two continents, and what each can learn from the other.

Radiosendung: Das traditionelle Feuilleton in der gedruckten Presse verliert laufend an Wirkungsmacht. Denn: Veranstaltungstipps kursieren heute bevorzugt in digitalen sozialen Netzwerken und per E-Mail. Das Internet selber ist immer häufiger Veranstaltungsort, oder wenigstens Übertragungsmedium von kulturellen Ereignissen.

Jetzt ist die Frage, was Wirkungsmacht meint. Ich dachte auch, dass das Feuilleton laufend an Bedeutung verliert, weil es häufig einfach abgeschafft wird.. Stimmt aber nicht, wie eine Studie in Deutschland zeigt. Es gab in den Tageszeitungen noch nie so viel Feuilleton wie heute.

I have finally taken the time to read newly-published -quite newly, mid-September 2010- Horizon Report on Museums by the Marcus Institute for Digital Education in the Arts (MIDEA), the arts branch of the New Media Consortium. 

Museum2.0 Das Jahr 2010 endet bald. Es war ein schnelles und dynamisches Jahr im Museumsbereich. Das Thema Social Web platzierteDas Thema Social Media steht auch bei Kultureinrichtungen ganz oben auf der Agenda. Diese Schlussfolgerung ließe sich ziehen, schaut man sich das sprunghafte Ansteigen von Twitter-Accounts und Facebook-Fanseiten seitens der Kultureinrichtungen innerhalb des vergangenen Jahres an. sich mit rasanter Schnelligkeit. Einige Projekte habe ich mitbetreut oder iniitiiert, bei manchen habe ich mitgeholfen oder sie schlichtweg beobachtet. Dass Museen sich nun vermehrt um das Thema Social Web kümmern, ist eine Notwendigkeit, wenn man bedenkt, das beispielsweise "Facebook" der am meist gegoogelte Begriff 2010 in Deutschland war. Museen müssen Präsenz im Social Web zeigen. Dies wird auch das Jahr 2011 (und die darauf folgenden Jahre!) zeigen.

"A recently launched service in Germany called PaperC (Twitter: @Paper_c) looks like it might become a pretty handy resource for students and researchers. It is an online library of commonly used textbooks for studying. You can read all of them online for free, but you can also download PDFs, make notes and bookmarks, and copy and paste quotes. The latter functions cost something, but not much. A PDF of 10 pages costs 1 Euro. The idea is not that it replaces books, as such, but replaces the photocopier. So far they have 2,799 books in their library."
