Oh, yes it's not all just relaxing in the antique furniture while lovingly stroking the fine leather binding of one of the more outre books in the collection, and taking another delicate sip of coffee. In fact, it's never like that. The one thing that astonished me when I first started work in museums was - it's such a dirty job. I mean, you spend a hour or so in the store checking objects in boxes, or moving things around to find space, or searching out objects for exhibitions (you know, the interesting jobs), and you come away filthy.

This can be frustrating or confusing. Science is a messy process. And many of us don't know how to be savvy consumers of science information. We're trying to create exhibits and web content that offer opportunities to dig deeper into science headlines, and give you a chance to talk with each other and with scientists about your questions and concerns. What's next? How about an exhibit about cloning? Or West Nile virus? Or the search for life on other planets? Or invasive flying carp? We're just getting started working on the next topics.

Therefore, visitors can use their phones as tools for learning not only inside the museum but also outside of the museum after their visit.

With Sue Lawty, however, a respect for historic and ethnographic material enables her to both assimilate and change the past. Her work provides a critical link in the chain that connects the historic with the contemporary, the traditional with the innovative. Lawty has been collaborating on a significant new body of work with the V&A Textile Collection: the result includes two site specific wall installations in Gallery 101 'Hieroglyph' and 'Order'.

This is a space for us to share our experiences, thoughts, and accidents with each other and the rest of the world. The Exploratorium is a big place, and about to get even bigger. Explainers are in charge of orienting kids on school field trips, doing all the demonstrations the museum offers (like the famous cow’s eye dissection), and manning the floor, trying to engage the public and trigger curiosity and exploration. In the course of all that, we interact with literally hundreds of people every day. All too often, we spend the better part of our work days scattered throughout this big black box, and each of us has experiences, interactions, thoughts, and sees things that no one else will. This blog originated from a desire to share all that, from the mundane (probably something about lunch bins being gross), to the funny, to the grandiose, and in the meantime provide a slice into life at the Exploratorium. http://explainers.wordpress.com/ http://www.museumlab.org Museumlab.org is a weblog about museum innovation. http://www.museumlab.org http://tagwerke.twoday.net/ The exhibitionblog "Tagwerke" already begins a year before the exhibition opening in the Museum for Communication Frankfurt with the documentation of the exhibit.
