I will now check out all the various blogs on museums out there. I agree.... not enough of them. My site Architecture for Art is hoping to build a community of museums and ideas about art and space. We'd love to have you join us in this endeavor. we're new..... so we would love feedback on what you would like from us. In the meantime, I will check out all these comments and go to other blogs.

One inspiring find was Jim Spadaccini’s blog with roundups of museums, blogs and community sites, and in particular his powerpoint for a presentation he gave back in March on Museum and Web 2.0. My other favourite find was the Walker Art Centre’s blogs, which are marvellous. They even blogged about their guidelines for their blogging staff. Here’s a great summary of what a museum blog might have that would make it worthwhile: …something more personal, something that’s not going be on the official website. Perhaps press/reviews regarding exhibitions from publications, reviews of staff, of programming and/or performance, curatorial insights, anecdotes about installation, execution, general thoughts, images, artist interviews that are included in current exhibitions, etc. Anything that supplements and rounds out the programming and, perhaps, includes the viewer. Blogs can make the possibilities of what an institution can do endless and with ease.

I just came upon your blog post because I was actually asking myself this same question "How many museums/galleries have blogs". I found your report very interesting and I agree that museum blogs are "one in a million" and it's a shame! The notion of Web2.0 and Blogging has such potential as a vehicle for timely communication among "like minded people". I'm interested in this topic because ArtLOOK is a bit unique as it focus' on web design and online marketing for artists, galleries and art concerns. ArtLOOK has just posted, on April 19th, a brief article on "How Blogging Can Help Your Art Career". Of course, this info serves museums as well. I have to tell you that 7 years ago when i started my business, I was told by a museum curator that my intention of creating web design for galleries, and museums was "very pedestrian". Well not so anymore with nearly every gallery/museum having an online presence. Perhaps as you say...next year museum blogs will not be so "one in a million". I'd be very interested in any follow up/discussions/meetings you have on this matter. Hi there.

You don’t find blogs on too many museum websites. I suspect part of this is due to the quick, informal reputation of blogging, which runs counter to the slower, more rigorous processes of exhibit curation and peer-reviewed publishing that most museums value. And part of it, I’m sure, is that most museums have far more goals than resources, so you won’t find too many administrators willing to commit staff time to writing or maintaining a blog.
