It’s been a privilege to work with Jill Robbins on numerous stories that have captivated the allure of Gulf Coast Capital. Recently, Jill's contribution to Newsweek's compilation of top art museums featured our very own Art Museum of South Texas (AMST) in Corpus Christi! If you've ever been to AMST you know that it's a sight to behold with its exquisite architecture and gorgeous water views! Now, you can weigh in by casting your vote here👇🏼

I can’t stop thinking about how this is compatible with the obligations under the landmark Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. Its economic, social and cultural self harm for the current and future generations.
The Senedd’s culture committee has heard evidence from heritage and culture sector bodies warning that drastic measures will need to be considered if the full cuts go ahead, including restructures, entry charges and possible closures. In its scrutiny report to the Senedd this week, the committee urged the government to rethink cuts to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales, which is funded through Cadw. The committee asked the government to “reconsider the proposed reduction in the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales’s budget from 22% to 10%”. Its recommendation follows warnings from sector bodies about the potentially devastating impact of the cuts being proposed to heritage. The Wales Heritage Group, which represents a number of heritage bodies, told the culture committee last month that it would be “impossible to see an operational future for the [Royal Commission] following such a severe cut”.

International Museum Day There is no better way to celebrate International Museum Day than to take a trip down to a nearby museum, either alone, with friends, or even with your children if you feel they are old enough to appreciate the place. Depending on where you live, the museums you might be closest to could be ones connected with anything from farming to fashion, from astronomy to archaeology, and from art to natural history. Another thing to think about is how well you tolerate crowds. International Museum Day is an increasingly popular worldwide event, so it is quite probable that many of the larger and better-known museums will be pretty crowded on this day, especially since many museums do not charge an entrance fee then. On weekdays, museums are often quiet places where one can come to study our ancestors’ lifestyles and contemplate what motivated them to behave and develop as they did. However you decide to celebrate Museum Day, don’t let this opportunity to find out about the history of the human race go to waste!

What is "eco-lens" and what does it mean within a museum context? As we learnt in a workshop with Culture Declares Emergency by Victoria Burns, "eco-lens" perspective involves viewing things through the prism of sustainability and environmental impact. Within the context of museum collections, "eco-lens" can be understood as viewing, managing, and interpreting collections with a focus on ecological sustainability and responsibility. Museums need to find links between their objects and ecology, in order to further delve deeper into their discoveries through interpretation. Adopting an eco-lens can also mean being conscious of the ecological crisis at large, as we're interpreting objects and working in museums. This is imperative because museums, as custodians of cultural and natural heritage, play a significant role in raising awareness about environmental issues and promoting sustainable practices. #workshoplearnings #ecolens #sustainability #sustainable #museums #environment #culture #climatechange #culturesector #culturedeclaresemergency #culturedeclares #indiammuseumsagainstclimatechange #climateaction #climatecrisis #climatestrike #climateemergency #climatechangeisreal #climateactionnow #museumsustainability #museumsforfuture
