Museums try to keep up with technology, deciding which tools will allow people more engaging access to collections. MoDA hasn't tried NFTs or VR yet, but we do use APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to share collections on our website and others: moda.mdx.ac.uk/2023/02/14/wid…

The topic of the day for #MuseumWeek2023 is #food! We hold books and ephemera related to the kitchen, home appliances and cooking. This blog by Alice Naylor is a kind of ‘micro-history’ of domestic life in post war Britain #MWfood moda.mdx.ac.uk/a-place-we-cal…

It's #WorldOceansDay and we are featuring #katagami stencils depicting the Great Wave. Turbulent water is often used as a metaphor for difficulties. The 2nd includes floating gourds, travelling with seeds, representing triumph over adversity. #OceansMW

Meet Kirsty Kerr, a Masters student on the New Museum School Advanced Programme run by Culture& and School of Museum Studies, as she dives deep into the complexities of the term 'Oriental' and its implications within MoDA's collection. 🧐 #DecolonizeMuseums ow.ly/pIgY50POwt5

The power of naming matters. @kirstyjkerr 's second post on cataloguing the 'Oriental' within MoDA's collection reflects on questions of power and representation in collections-related museum information #DecolonizeMuseums #RethinkingCataloguing ow.ly/wiZj50PP4JJ

Collections Manager Sian Woodward finds Kirsty Kerr's report 'Cataloguing the 'Oriental' in MoDA's Collection' a valuable resource to inspire ethical cataloguing practices across the sector. #ItsGoodToShare #RethinkingCataloguing ow.ly/hNfn50PP68I

Obviously there are a LOT of things we could say abut this, but we'll let you digest the news first...

Thanks to everyone expressing sympathy/solidarity for staff. We don't yet know what will happen to the collections, other than to reassure you that our professional task now is to find new and appropriate home(s) for everything. moda.mdx.ac.uk/closure-collec…
