The Pinky Show: We Love Museums...Do Museums Love Us Back?

This episode of The Pinky Show is hilarious. A pretty cynical, irreverent view of museum work, but worth considering; sometimes it's important to have some cartoon cats cut through the BS.

Favorite Part:

"Blank walls are good so that the visitors won't have to deal with so much context or history.

Then you put a small label next to the object...Make sure the lettering on the labels is very tidy and sharp, and also only use language that sounds academic, otherwise the authority-effect won't be so convincing.

That's the formula: blank walls + nice tidy labels + maybe even shining a light on the object = guaranteed to make any object look extremely important."
