Today is follow-a-museum-day on Twitter! Use #followamuseum

Posted on 31 January 2010 | Comments Off

Museums of all shapes and sizes can be found giving people a behind the scenes look at art, history, nature and science through Twitter. Over one million people follow museums on Twitter, what if each of these people told a friend about a museum that they enjoy following?

What if someone who hasn’t visited a museum for years was inspired to engage with art by Twitter? What if more people used Twitter to tell museums what they think about their exhibitions?

For 24 hours we want you to spread the word about museums on Twitter. Just recommend a museum to your followers, or point them to the directory of museums here.

Use hashtag #followamuseum, Original idea by Jim Richardson, Museum Marketing.
