Going to try experimenting again with this platform by posting about CIDOC2024 😅

#museum30 Day 4 is #Document - my time to shine! Document is a verb, and an imperative.
Having documented collections for over a decade, I’ve seen first hand the challenges museums face in this area. Now I’m doing a PhD researching the history and practice of documentation.

#Museum30 #Landscape stumped on this one so I cheated and searched my photos for the word landscape, found this gem from iSpy in the museum (‘some models have whole landscapes constructed around them..’). This book is quite the comment on the museum landscape btw 😉

Normally I get to at least day 5 before I forget #Museum30. By way of introduction, I’m a PhD student researching collections documentation, an award-winning cataloguer, and a hater. More about me and my work here www.kathleenlawther.co.uk

#Museum30 I’m not currently based in a museum while working on my PhD, so sharing the best museum experience I’ve had this year (possibly ever? defo the best museum food ever) the National Museum of Anthropology CDMX. Full of local families, few obvious tourists besides myself.

I’m back from Mexico and I’ve slept for almost 20 hours so I can only assume based on prior experience that I will now not sleep for a week 🫠

It’s so embarrassing being English in an international context.
