When you talked about (not) sending the guns back to respective countries, I feel like you were almost about to say "France", right before mentioning Japan. Since you've experienced it it firsthand if I recall correctly, how's the gun curator/museum situation in France? Genuinely curious, being a French collector myself.

working in a museum environment myself (guard and ticket counter) in a well known modern art museum... can see the issues there. we are state sponsored and cost are SUCH a permament problem. -I'm in europe and crazy demands of politicians here would just love to destroy all museum firearms I am sure. that is a disgrace.

This was great and really struck home for a lot of my work in museums. I am the curator at a Old West Museum and one of the biggest issues I've faced in terms of fundraising is that there are plenty of people out there who have money and want to donate, but the strings attached to the donation almost make it not worth it. One particular instance related to a firearm that was in our collection (I can't say too much otherwise I might out myself and the museum) that was seen by many as the jewel of the museum because it had a connection to a famous individual from the old west who has a lot of family who still live in the area. I couldn't tell you how many people came in and would say so and so was my great great second twice removed cousins barber. This firearm was given a place front in center and featured in almost all our marketing. Turns out that when the firearm was donated they never bothered to actually see if the firearm was the actual firearm even though the documentation is easily accessible and could be checked (gun rhymes with holt) and while it was the same model of firearm it wasn't one that belonged to this individual. What made it worse was that the actual firearm that the museum had presented as the real one is on display at another museum and is featured in several videos of theirs and actually had the paper work. When I first came on I told them that it wasn't the real firearm and I provided the information with the serial numbers backing this up and a communication with the other museum, but nobody on the board wanted to hear it our admit it. A lot of the times these big donors have a view of what they think history is, and unfortunately more often than not (and the AAM just came out with a study on this) most individuals who go to a museum are not going to learn new history but to confirm what they think they already know. In this case you say anything negative on their ancestor or ancestors barber and you run the risk of losing the donation even though the history on this individual is documented but "family stories" take center stage for them.

2021-08-14 01:57:39 I hope there is a Q&A follow up to this. I would love to know informed opinions on whether artifacts can be used to create immersion, or if augmented reality is suited to deliver customizable amounts of exposition to a display without taking space with signage and if this could help maximize artifact density. Moreover, does anyone know how the museum portion of Patriot Park works? I understand that there are reenactment areas and a firing range for replicas, though I am not sure what they do for artifacts beyond armored vehicles and if the whole is a successful artifact and experience balance.

wow thanks for this post! do you have a link to the AAM study? It never even occurred to me to ask that question!

At one time, i was pretty involved with Museum studies around Egypt and the ancient near east. It was interesting to hear about the challenges around maintaining firearms collections.
