Colleagues, With all the bad press that museums get, I thought that you might be interested to know that last Saturday night NBC Weekend Nightly News did a focus story on the Museum Loan Network--that was all about positive things that museums do. It traced objects coming from Cleveland Museum of Art and Peabody Essex Museum going to the Carlos Museum in Atlanta. It showed backstage, conservation, storage, appropriate care in packing and objects on view in galleries with children. I have just been advised that the story is going to be re-aired on MSNBC Magazine with Stone Phillips this weekend. So, maybe some of you can catch it on that. According to the MSNBC site the show airs on Saturday and Sunday seemingly every two hours. Check your local listings, I guess. The Weekend Magazine shows highlights from week's programs, but I am not sure if it is the same show every time or what.
