The International Council of Museums (ICOM) has finally approved the new definition of a museum:
“A museum is a not-for-profit, permanent institution in the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage. Open to the public, accessible and inclusive, museums foster diversity and sustainability. They operate and communicate ethically, professionally and with the participation of communities, offering varied experiences for education, enjoyment, reflection and knowledge sharing.”

We have come to the end of another year so I thought it would be a great time to discuss everything that happened in the museum world in 2022! We have a new museum definition from ICOM, repatriation efforts from the Smithsonian, some of the Parthenon Marbles are headed home, and protests that resulted in soup being thrown at a Van Gogh painting. If you haven't already, please be sure to like this video and subscribe
Let's dig in!

It will be Easter weekend soon, and there may be a fair chance that you may get some time to participate in your hobby or to relax with your family. If you are into paddleboarding and plan to get out onto the water, here is a short article on why a marine VHF radio is an important safety consideration when venturing out: https://icomuk.co.uk/Marine-VHF-Radio-an-Important-Safety-Tool-for-Paddleboarders/3995/1208/
Happy Easter Everyone!

Engineering Ghosts in the Machine: Digital Personalities
(draft) This chapter explores the development of “ghosts in the machine,” or digital copies of personalities, by leveraging cognitive architectures, graph databases, generative AI, and all the records we have on any given individual we want to emulate or replicate in the machine.  This, of course, would not be the same person.  Even if we go so far as to say this ‘copy’ is conscious, it still…

What is a museum, anyway?
Definitions matter, and with the change to how ICOM defines "museum", there are some opportunities on their way. I wrote a blog post about this recently.
In short:
A museum is a not-for-profit, permanent institution in the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage. Open to the public, accessible and inclusive, museums foster diversity and sustainability. They operate and communicate ethically, professionally and with the participation of communities, offering varied experiences for education, enjoyment, reflection and knowledge sharing.
