Hackathon 3.0 has been churning at the Museum and an epic battle is going down at this month's Final Friday: Hack the Museum. Check out the projects Hackers created to guide you to your new favorite work of art and cast your vote for the People's Choice Award. Then dance it out with Philly funk by Swift Technique. Final Fridays are included with Museum admission. Tickets are limited. Final Fridays illustration by Nate Harris.

That's a really funny sketch from New Kingdom Egypt! Though the exact origin of this imagery is not known, scholars' best guess is that the cat serving the mouse scene comes from a fable that was popular during the 19th or 20th Dynasty. It think it's a fun departure from the typically programmatic Egyptian artwork in the galleries.

The "Silent Museum" is officially a thing of the past.

There’s a specific kind of magic that happens when you stop being a passive observer and start becoming a participant. We’re seeing a massive shift in how we experience culture—it’s moving away from static labels and toward intentional, digital-first engagement.

Why does this matter? Because everyone explores differently:

Some people want the "deep dive" (give them the technical history and the hidden archives).

Some people want the "vibe" (give them the curated, aesthetic path with the best photo ops).

Some people just want to know where the café is without getting lost (bless interactive wayfinding).

Visitor engagement in museums isn’t about forcing people to look at a screen; it’s about using technology as a quiet, supportive companion that unlocks stories you’d otherwise miss. It’s about making sure the "heartbeat" of the museum stays accessible to everyone, no matter how they choose to walk through the doors.

2026 is the year of the personalized journey. Less friction, more wonder.

Carved this out of insulation foam & started painting it. It's for the contest at work I mentioned in my other post. My co-worker drew it out. He decided to go with the animated version of Slimer because the one in the movie is a nasty little spud. This one is at least kinda cute.

Made this little ladder mount to hold the clay sculpted ladder in an exhibit case. It's made from plexiglass that I laser cut from my own design on Illustrator. Then heat bent & adhered together with a plexi adhesive. The pottery & ladder will be traveling to Texas Tech for exhibit.
