Poster for the exhibition, mostly in Japanese.
Ooh there’s a British #art in the 90s exhibition from the Tate, held at the National Art Center in Tokyo (the building features in John Wick 4).

found this on LI: The "Defend The Legacy" toolkit is an essential resource designed to help Black communities, museums, and advocates preserve significant aspects of American history amid ongoing threats of erasure.

Black and white photo of the roof of the High Museum of Art, showing arches, shadows, and the first level of the spiral ramp going down. This ramp featured in the TV movie "Manhunter" as Will Graham flees from his meeting with Hannibal Lecter, played by Brian Cox.
I think I may have, purely by chance, taken a great photo of the support grid above the atrium of the @highmuseumofart.bsky.social. All I did was increase the contrast on my iPhone. #photography #MuseumSky Friday, February 27, around 2:00pm et.

Our latest blog comes from illustrator and comic book #artist Karrie Fransman. Karrie was the recipient of 2025's Stephen Herbert Award and came to the #museum to explore #precinema and #visualstorytelling.

"Many past projects as well as those now in development—including Adrienne Spinozzi’s landmark Edgefield Pottery exhibition (2022) and Denise Murrell’s various initiatives—may be seen as constituting the afterlives of The Met’s hugely consequential misstep with Black cultural expression. They also reveal the Museum’s newfound reckoning with righting the wrongs of the past by centering more inclusive art histories in our mission—manifest in staffing, collecting, and programming—a genuine, if long overdue commitment." (hyperlink underlining and bolding the word "commitment."
I clicked on the link attached to "commitment" and got "Page Not Found".
Museum Mile institutions like The Met still get millions from the city while small diasporic-centered art centers still practically have to fight each other for funding. Not much has changed. #museumsky #artsky
Poster about Milk Station museum in Lisbon.
Museu Do Lactário is a legit hidden gem of a museum in Lisbon. Walking in, I assumed it was about a milk cooperative, instead it turned out to be about arguably the first social institution in Portugal providing neo natal care for young mothers and babies.

We had a fantastic time hosting the Land of the Pharaohs: Egypt on screen-themed #familyfunday yesterday!
The kids particularly loved trying on the replica helmet from Alexander (2004) - good to see #Egyptomania still capturing young imaginations!

4) Pool in the Forest, Théodore Rousseau
5) Clearing in the Forest, Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Peña
As with Diaz's forest paintings, I also love the palettes that Rousseau used in his works. It's something I hope to incorporate into my own art.

Souvenirs from the gift shop. I wanted the book so I could read up more about the exhibition, and the tote bag was indulgent spending simply because it features a borb (which I believe is a zebra dove) 😅

3) Pool in the Forest
by Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Peña
I love the dark and moody palette that Diaz favoured in his works, which still manages to convey the warmth of the sun filtering through the trees.

This will be a 🧵 of my favourite paintings from the exhibition & some thoughts.

1) Forest of Compiègne, Paul Huët
These paintings are TINY. And yet the sheer amount of detail he managed to achieve is just extraordinary.
