Le Tour de Musee
After the huge success of the BYOV event at the Museum of Science here in Boston, I have been giving much thought to a BYOV tour involving more museums. Museums seem to create a great combination of open public spaces with interesting and engaged people; something that suits a BYOV event perfectly. Of course, not all museums would be appropriate, but I think that if I were to get five or six in the northeast interested, I could gather some amazing voices as well as some great recognition potentially. Eventually, I'd like to do a performance tour of museums, but I'm not quite ready for that yet.
Right now, I'm thinking of these for starters:
Museum of Fine Arts - Boston
New Museum - New York
Peabody Essex Museum - Salem, MA
ICA - Boston
Portland Museum of Art - Portland, ME
Mass MoCA - North Adams, MA
Anyone have any other ideas? How about connections at these or other places?!
I'll keep you posted.
