Well, I’ve been avoiding it over here because I’m extremely moody about losing my first true social media x museums love. #musesocial

My fascination with the subject of this thread (many thanks to my colleague @RebekahMejorado for bringing a fresh spark to this story!) is entirely due to my mom, who taught me to love flowers, field guides, natural history, women’s history, and art.
If you look closely this time of year you might see a happy sight. Small and easy to overlook, “Erigena bulbosa,” aka “Harbinger-of-Spring” is one of the earliest blooming flowers of the year. These tiny white flowers are a welcome sight that the long winter is nearing an end.

I will never stop shouting about how much I love this project, and this comic in particular ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday to #AlmaThomas! To celebrate the artist’s 130th birthday, we invite you to enjoy “Beneath the Holly Tree,” a colorful homage to her life and work: americanart.si.edu/blog/alma… #OTD #HBD
Soooooo proud of this project
What happens when you pair ten emerging illustrators with ten rule-breaking, visionary women artists in order to tell ten remarkable tales?

We “puzzled” over how to show our love, dear @nyhistory and settled on this as our #MuseumLoveLetter to you!

Going down the hall to my apartment after a morning walk with the dog, a neighbor laughed cynically when her masklessness stopped me in my tracks. I huffed, “so funny,” and went another way. How’s your morning?
Happy honking cars driving around Old Town Alexandria almost drowning out the sound of leaf blowers this beautiful morning 🎉

When you’re in a meeting and say “huh it would be nice to have a Halloween blog post” and then your wish is granted... 🎃 🐱 🕷 💀
It’s #SpookySeason so we’re watching classic creepy movies and finding a similar mood in artworks from SAAM’s collection.
What does the red pigment in some candies have in common with a room-sized Renwick Gallery installation and a Tim Burton classic? 💀 🎃 🐞 #Halloween
