- Miyai Abe Griggs
- Executive Director
- Art Museum of Eastern Idaho
-
- Dear Ms. Griggs,
-
- For some time I've enjoyed reading about exhibits on your website.
It's wonderful to see the diversity of approaches museums take in presenting
information.
-
- While postings for your exhibits may contain certain motivational,
informational and educational elements listed below, please consider adding
additional ones to further benefit your online audience. Especially when
more and more people use the internet as the "go to" source for
information and for making physical visitation decisions.
-
- Additional materials will further excite and motivate people to physically
visit. They provide a valuable resource for researchers, students, educators
and curators years into the future. I've also heard that more website content
causes improved placement in Google searches.
-
- Best regards,
-
-
- Some of these elements are:
-
- - Links to press releases, outside media coverage, other web coverage,
and artist websites
-
- - PDF images of gallery guides, teacher guides, brochures and catalogs
-
- - Artist statements
-
- - In-gallery materials including texts from wall panels, plus standard
or extended object labels
-
- - Checklists with and without thumbnail images
-
- - Photos of the exhibit's gallery rooms
- Subject: Online future, current and past exhibit information
-
- Ms. Cindi Morrison
- Director
- Appleton Museum of Art/College of Central Florida
-
- Dear Ms, Morrison,
-
- For some time I have enjoyed reviewing content about exhibits you place
on your website. It's wonderful to see the diversity of approaches museums
take in presenting information.
-
- While postings for your exhibits contain some of the motivational,
informational and educational elements listed below, please consider adding
some additional ones to further benefit your online audience. Especially
when more and more people use the internet as the "go to" source
for information.
-
- Some of these elements are:
-
- -- Links to press releases, outside media coverage, other web coverage,
and artist websites.
-
- -- PDF images of gallery guides, teacher guides, brochures and catalogs
-
- -- Artist statements
-
- -- Video interviews by curators
-
- -- In-gallery materials including texts from wall panels and object
labels
-
- -- Checklists with and without thumbnail images
-
- -- virtual tours
-
- -- Using the same URL for future, current and past exhibit postings
to provide continuity of identification by educators who wish to link to
them and for fluid transfer of URLs from pages containing listings for
current, future and past exhibits.
-
- Additional materials will further excite and motivate people to physically
visit. They provide a valuable resource for researchers, students, educators
and curators years into the future. I've also heard that more website content
