Just another favorite song of mine
The Courtauld Gallery in London
One of my favorite museums of all time. Love the architecture, love the fountain and love the way they display the masterpieces by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rubens, Manet and etc. (A little break from all the tech-filled museums…)
I’ll try anything once by the Strokes in Somewhere

Museums Turn to Technology to Boost Attendance by Millennials
An interesting NYtimes article about how museums are now using technology (bluetooth) to keep track of their audiences’ movement in the museums and furthermore, evaluate their interests and preferences.
“Internet technology presents diversions, but may also offer new ways of engaging younger visitors in art, science and history. This year many museums will install a new form of Bluetooth technology known as beacons. Patrons who download a smartphone app can be tracked within a few feet as they wander the galleries. The beacons can detect whether they’re standing at a Warhol print or a Cartier-Bresson photograph and, like a digital docent, can beam them a rich feed of information about those works, including audio talks, videos and reviews.”
Will the internet be the death of museums?
