'The Curiosity Shop', touring the north-east in a succession of abandoned shops. "The museum is built from scratch at each new location, then packed up again when the time comes to move to its next venue."
"The organisers have negotiated discounts with museums, galleries, theatres, bars and restaurants for anyone who turns up between Friday and Sunday carrying a TV remote control." BBC4 documentary last night implied that this has become a regular event.
"Visitors will be able to challenge each other to a game of 'chicken' on the Painstation, play table tennis with a difference on MIT Medialab's PingPongPlus or take part in a human-scale 'PacMan' game using Spacehoppers."
The National History Museum has a giant squid. They're still preparing it. "The plan is to build a giant glass tank that could sit in the museum on public display, with the squid suspended at its centre."
Facetious new tour leaflets at Tate Britain, which looked like they were planted by a stalker - design your own, and get it added to the collection, with a VIP pass thrown in.
"At the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, [staff] often encounter groups from B.C. Tours, which for 15 years has offered tours of the museum based on literal readings of the Bible." [...] "It's your job not to slam the door in the face of a believer."
"The incongruity of the crashed cars and this celebratory social event was further compounded by the alcohol-induced removal of social constraints and the distancing effect of guests watching themselves on closed-circuit television monitors."
They're following me. "One of the biggest and most complete giant squids ever found is on display at London's Natural History Museum." Possibly worse condition than the Melbourne one, but it's not crammed into a block of ice.
Art exhibition. "The theme out of time place scale provides an opportunity to challenge the taxonomic limitations of hierarchy, linearity, chronology, and/or context that museums and art history manipulate to control presentation and reception."
Fifty obscure London museums, a lot of them cheap or free. "It occurred to me that if I saved the wrapper from every product I bought, collectively they'd represent a social history of daily life in Britain."
