Blog Updates

Since my last look, The Attic has added several new posts. One discusses a recent Economist article about the boom in museums across China, and offers some criticism on the slant of the story.

Another, "Why Shouldn't Museums Be for Pure Pleasure," is similar to the topic of Bryan Adumchuk's recent post. The Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, London has been criticized for its recent Kylie Minogue exhibition, which was considered too pop culturish by conservative museum professionals. Included is a link to a Times interview with the V&A Director, Mark Jones.

Next up: more archival blogs.
