Having mirrored Siva (aka Otterman) for the day, I’ve gone from lunching with our Mac friends at the National University of Singapore (NUS), doing my own work at the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, to joining in the museum roundtable meeting at the Ministry of Information and the Arts (MICA).
I listened in to the roundtable discussion on Singapore’s plans for International Museum Day 2007 (aka IMD, which is actually week long), and I got a good sense of how all our museums coordinate their efforts for such national campaigns. This IMD festival will have an extensive programme, which is great for families and heritage buffs alike!
You should start to hear more about this in the media soon, and do join in as you would be able to literally explore all our local museums in just one week! For the complete event listing, stay tuned to this IMD’07 events page.
Even if you can’t go, there are two things you can look forward to:
If you’re a Twitter user, add the IMD team as a friend to receive official event updates and to keep in touch with other participants. If you’re not a Twitter user, you still can follow the conversations over here.
The IMD 2007 team will also be uploading photos of their finds from IMD on Flickr. To join in, simply upload your photos to Flickr and tag them “imd2007“.
[Thanks to Siva and Kenneth for reminding me that it's IMD, not IDM. And to Benjamin and Walter for the social media activities surrounding the event.]
