Designing A History of The World, inspiring article by James Boardwell

3 February 2010 | Add Comment

The BBC contacted Rattle in Spring 2009 to help them think through different audience propositions for what is now A History of The World, a landmark series on Radio 4 produced in conjunction with the British Museum. The basic premise of the programme is to provide a history of the world through objects, including 100 from the British Museum which the radio programmes focus on, and others from regional museums. Now that the website is live, and the programmes are being broadcast 3 times a day, no less, we thought it’d be a good time to talk about some of the work we did.

Museum Global Ranking 2009

2 February 2010 | 1 Comment

More than 680 museum websites have been analysed. Only museums with their own unique domain name are listed or museums with a sub domain with their own unique ranking data. Museums with a sub domain and no unique ranking data are not listed. For example the Harvard Art Museum has a sub domain at www.harvard.edu. The ranking data of the sub domain is identical to that of the Harvard University website, with the consequence that no realistic comparison can be made.

Top 10 Most Popular Art Museum Websites
1     Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
2     Metropolitan Museum of Art
3     Musée du Louvre
4     National Gallery of Art
5     Victoria and Albert Museum
6     J. Paul Getty Museum
7     Deutsches Historisches Museum
8     Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
9     State Hermitage Museum
10   Brooklyn Museum of Art

See the ranking here: Museum Global Ranking 2009.

Yesterday was #followamuseum day on Twitter

2 February 2010 | Add Comment

We at Museum Media saw a very vivid communication on Twitter yesterday using the #followamuseum hashtag. Jim Richardson writes on his blog today: Yesterday was #followamuseum day on Twitter and the initial signs are that it was a success. The hashtag was used at least 6,000 times I don’t think this is counting all the tweets as this service missed about 50 which I wrote myself and the website received in excess of 10,000 unique visitors.

I want now to pause for a minute and ask you to share the number of new followers that your institution gained on follow a museum day and to ask what will you do next to engage with these people? Read more Follow a Museum Day « Museum Marketing.

Live Tweeting Mummy Wrapping and Conservator Q&A!

1 February 2010 | 1 Comment

Brooklyn Museum: If you were following us on Twitter last June, you probably remember us live tweeting as a group of mummies were taken to North Shore University Hospital for CT scanning. Tomorrow, our conservators are going to be in our conservation lab re-wrapping the “Anonymous Man” shown above getting his CT scan to get him ready for display for the Mummy Chamber pdf long-term installation opening in early Summer. We’re going to live tweet the process direct from the lab and the conservators are going to answer questions via Twitter as time allows. Should be a fun, behind-the-scenes look the process from our conservation lab. Follow us – we’ll be using the #mummywrap hashtag and hope to see you tomorrow! FOLLOW!
