Museum Workers are invited to introduce their professions by sharing photos of themselves (with their colleague) in their work enviroment. Camera-shy Museum Workers may choose to share a photograph of an object that embodies their profession, accompanied with a brief description of their job. . Relevant images shared by Museum & Heritage Workers – tagged #IMWD2017 – may be shared across various platforms on our social media feeds. We also actively encourage other museum and heritage institutions to do the same. . 📸 @thekika_photography for @latviannationalmuseumofart 🇱🇻 #NationalMuseum #Latvia

We get goosebumps looking at archival #museumlife photos such as this one, courtesy @@theartnewspaper.official: . Blast from the past: Did you know that in the late 1970s, the #RoyalAcademy of Arts in #London nearly sold off its most valuable work - the Taddei Tondo by #Michelangelo. At the time it was worth £5m (it's other 56 sculptures were worth £70,000 in total). Luckily, the London institution changed its mind - today the tondo is worth well over £100m! 🤑. .

Hello handsome - courtesy @fitzmuseum_uk @cambridgeuniversity 🇬🇧! . Announcing an important acquisition (April 2017) - a handsome swagger-portrait of Claude-Armand Gérôme by his brother Jean-Léon #Gérôme (1824-1904), one of the most important #French painters of the #19thcentury. Gérôme was hostile to the 'decadent fashion' of Impressionism, and his brother seems to share his opinion (judging from his expression), looking down on Monet's 'Poplars' (PD.9-1966). . This acquisition was made to commemorate our bicentenary and was possible through the generosity of the @artfund and a number of other wonderful foundations and individuals. . #Impressionism #portraiture #museumviews (at The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge)
