Podcasts about museums

For thousands of years, human beings have created works of art. Many of these works are commissioned by rulers, merchants, or religious leaders.  Over time, many of these great works have found their way into the hands of art museums.  Museums allow everyone to enjoy and appreciate art that has been produced around the world over the course of centuries. However, not all museums are created equal. Learn more about the world's greatest art museums and what makes them great on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Designer and creative leader Lucy Holmes traces a life shaped by letters and by people. From hand drawing alphabets at RISD to orchestrating typographic rhythm through major museums, she reveals how the most resonant design often disappears so visitors can be fully with the work. Holmes describes turning words upside down to see relationships rather than read them, printing and pinning, tracing and testing, until a single word on a wall feels inevitable. Designing permanent galleries means thinking in decades, choosing people and stories over brittle technology. The result is quiet clarity, composed for the present and built to meet the future.

Welcome back to Elk Horn, Iowa – a small Midwestern town that became the heart of Danish America. In this episode, we hear a remarkable coincidence about the first Danes to arrive here, visit the historic Danish Windmill with manager Lisa Steen Riggs, and explore The Museum of Danish America. I also get a personal tour of "Bedstemor's Hus," built in 1908 by the colorful local legend known as Prince Otto. From documentaries that made locals famous in Denmark to preserved heritage homes and cultural festivals, Elk Horn continues to celebrate its Danish roots with pride.

The Connecticut Yankee atomic power plant was one of the earliest commercial nuclear reactors in New England.  Though it was dismantled at the turn of the 21st century, its legacy remains, both for the landscape of the Connecticut River Valley where it once stood, and for contemporary debates about energy today.  This episode explores the plant's life and afterlife, the activists who opposed it, and the promises and perils of nuclear power in the 1960s and today, through the reminiscences of Paul Gionfriddo, a former state legislator and longtime president of People's Action for Clean Energy, a group that has advocated for conservation and renewable energy in Connecticut since the early 1970s.   This episode is presented by Dr. Amrys Williams and Jon Kozak. Williams is a historian of science, technology,and the environment who serves as the Executive Director of the Connecticut League of Museums.  Her recent research projects have focused on anti-nuclear activism, radioecology, and the public interpretation of nuclear places. Kozak is a graduate student in Public History at Central Connecticut State University and the Communications Manager for the Connecticut League of Museums. His recent research has focused on energy landscapes and the Connecticut Yankee plant.   Their guest is Paul Gionfriddo is a former state representative and mayor of Middletown, a graduate of Wesleyan University, and a retired nonprofit professional.  He has advocated for mental health and renewable energy, and served as President of People's Action for Clean Energy from 1975 until 1999.    For more information, visit these sites:   -Connecticut Yankee website: connyankee.com/ -People's Action for Clean Energy website: pacecleanenergy.org/  -1960s film of the construction of the Connecticut Yankee Nuclear Power Plant: youtube.com/watch?v=AiCYVMboju8 -The Atom and Eve, 1960s film promoting CT Yankee plant and atomic power in New England: footagefarm.com/reel-details/communications/telephone/1966---colour-atomic-energy-usa--atom-and-eve ; https://catalog.archives.gov/id/88095  -US Department of Energy Flickr Photo Stream, with many images of the Haddam Neck Plant before and during its operating lifetime: flickr.com/photos/departmentofenergy/10822396434/in/photostream/ -Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company, Haddam Neck Plant Records at the University of Connecticut Archives and Special Collections: archivessearch.lib.uconn.edu/repositories/2/resources/335  -Wesleyan Anti-Nuclear Protests Collection, Wesleyan University Archives and Special Collections: archives.wesleyan.edu/repositories/ua/resources/wesleyan_university_anti-nuclear_protests_collecti  -Connecticut Collections: ctcollections.org/   Production notes -Projector sound effect: cine-projector SFX.wav by Rollo145 -- https://freesound.org/s/220348/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 3.0 -Archival audio from: -Gene Starbecker, The Atom and Eve (Bay State Film Production Inc., 1966). -Construction of Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Plant, produced for Connecticut Yankee by Kevin Donovan Films, Glastonbury, CT, ca. 1968.

The Capitoline Museums are a group of art and archaeological museums located on top of the Capitoline Hill, which was the political and religious center of ancient Rome. Their collections focus on the history of Rome and include masterpieces such as the "Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius," the "Capitoline Wolf, " the "Dying Gaul, " but also later masterpieces such as Caravaggio's "Fortune Teller" and Bernini's "Head of Medusa."

In this Poducer: Chicago Series episode, we sit down with Aria Pedraza, community archivist and founder of the Midwest Rave Culture Archive (MWRCA) — a living digital collection preserving the Midwest's underground electronic music history. From growing up surrounded by DJs and renegade parties to scanning and cataloging decades of flyers, zines, cassette tapes, and VHS footage, Aria shares how the project began and why documenting rave culture matters now more than ever. She opens up about the process of digitizing fragile materials, the ethics of archiving a misunderstood subculture, and how Chicago's DIY spirit continues to shape the city's dance music identity. Together, we explore the evolution of the Midwest rave scene — from illegal warehouse parties with 24-hour info lines to the influence of modern technology — and discuss how community-driven preservation keeps these stories alive for future generations. Aria also reflects on her vision for exhibitions, collaborations with museums, and the future of the archive as both a cultural and academic resource. For anyone passionate about house, techno, and the roots of Midwest dance music, this episode captures the heart of a movement determined not to be forgotten.

Transcript:Sv: Det var en krispig höstdag i Stockholm.En: It was a crisp autumn day in Stockholm.Sv: Träden utanför Nationalmuseum skiftade i gyllene och röda färger, som om de själva var konstverk.En: The trees outside the Nationalmuseum were changing to golden and red hues, as if they themselves were artworks.Sv: Sofia och Linnea gick långsamt genom museets magnifika salar.En: Sofia and Linnea walked slowly through the museum's magnificent halls.Sv: De skulle på en efterlängtad konstutställning.En: They were going to a long-awaited art exhibition.Sv: Sofia älskade konst.En: Sofia loved art.Sv: Det gav henne en känsla av ro och inspiration.En: It gave her a sense of peace and inspiration.Sv: Men den här dagen grumlades hennes glädje av oro.En: But this day, her joy was clouded by worry.Sv: "Linnea, tänk om vi stöter på Albin idag?"En: "Linnea, what if we run into Albin today?"Sv: viskade Sofia.En: whispered Sofia.Sv: Hennes blick flackade i oroliga mönster, speglande de intrikata målningarna omkring dem.En: Her glance flickered in worried patterns, mirroring the intricate paintings around them.Sv: "Du har velat återförenas med honom länge nu, Sofia," svarade Linnea mjukt och la en hand på Sofias axel.En: "You've been wanting to reunite with him for a long time now, Sofia," Linnea replied softly, placing a hand on Sofia's shoulder.Sv: "Kanske är det ett tecken."En: "Maybe it's a sign."Sv: Sofia nickade, men en tyngd vilade kvar i hennes bröst.En: Sofia nodded, but a weight lingered in her chest.Sv: Hennes bror Albin, som hon inte hade träffat på flera år, hade plötsligt dykt upp i hennes tankar denna dag.En: Her brother Albin, whom she had not seen for several years, had suddenly appeared in her thoughts today.Sv: Han bodde utomlands och deras relation hade varit kylig.En: He lived abroad and their relationship had been chilly.Sv: Gamla konflikter låg fortfarande och pyrde under ytan.En: Old conflicts were still simmering beneath the surface.Sv: Som de långsamt vandrade genom utställningen, de njöt av varje konstverk.En: As they slowly wandered through the exhibition, they enjoyed each artwork.Sv: Mitt bland färger och former såg de en bekant gestalt.En: Among the colors and shapes, they saw a familiar figure.Sv: Där stod Albin.En: There stood Albin.Sv: Han såg äldre ut, men de där igenkännande dragen fanns kvar.En: He looked older, but those recognizable features remained.Sv: "Sofia", uppmanade Linnea tyst och knuffade henne försiktigt framåt.En: "Sofia," Linnea urged quietly and nudged her gently forward.Sv: Sofia kände en hemsk blandning av förväntan och rädsla.En: Sofia felt a dreadful mix of anticipation and fear.Sv: Skulle hon säga hej?En: Should she say hello?Sv: Vad skulle hon säga?En: What would she say?Sv: Om han bara ignorerade henne?En: What if he just ignored her?Sv: Men denna plats, dessa konstverk, gav henne mod.En: But this place, these artworks, gave her courage.Sv: Hon satte kurs mot Albin.En: She set a course toward Albin.Sv: "Hej, Albin," sa hon, rösten skakig men tydlig.En: "Hello, Albin," she said, her voice shaky but clear.Sv: Albin vände sig långsamt och såg på henne.En: Albin turned slowly and looked at her.Sv: Blicken mjuknade något, men han såg också förbluffad ut.En: His gaze softened somewhat, but he also appeared astonished.Sv: "Sofia," svarade han till sist.En: "Sofia," he finally replied.Sv: De stod där mitt bland mästerverken, två syskon som delade mer än bara gener.En: They stood there among the masterpieces, two siblings sharing more than just genes.Sv: Orden kom först långsamt.En: The words came slowly at first.Sv: Samtalet blev snabbt uppriktigt och känsloladdat.En: The conversation quickly became sincere and emotional.Sv: Sofia talade om sina känslor, om saknaden och ängsligheten.En: Sofia talked about her feelings, about the longing and anxiety.Sv: Albin berättade om sitt liv utomlands, om varför han hållit sig undan.En: Albin spoke about his life abroad, about why he had stayed away.Sv: Det var svårt.En: It was difficult.Sv: För gamla sår läkte inte omedelbart.En: For old wounds do not heal immediately.Sv: Men där, bland konsten, hittade de en sällsynt gemensam mark.En: But there, among the art, they found a rare common ground.Sv: Insikten om att det som en gång verkade omöjligt att reparera kanske kunde bli helt.En: The realization that what once seemed impossible to repair could perhaps become whole.Sv: När Sofia och Linnea senare den kvällen lämnade museet, vilade ett lugn över Sofia.En: When Sofia and Linnea left the museum later that evening, a calm rested over Sofia.Sv: Hon hade gått igenom en storm av känslor, men hittade ett frö av hopp.En: She had gone through a storm of emotions, but found a seed of hope.Sv: Hennes mod belönades och hon kände sig starkare.En: Her courage was rewarded and she felt stronger.Sv: Människor förändras.En: People change.Sv: Förbindelser kan återuppbyggas.En: Connections can be rebuilt.Sv: Höstens färgglada löv viskade om nya början, och mitt i allt detta, fann Sofia en ny början med sin bror.En: The colorful autumn leaves whispered of new beginnings, and in the midst of it all, Sofia found a new beginning with her brother.

The art world can feel intimidating, even elitist. But for Karen Vidangos, it’s also been a space to challenge those barriers and open doors for others. She built the Latinx Art Collective, a free, searchable database that helps curators, collectors, and fans discover artists across the U.S. She also created Latina in Museums, an online platform that documents her candid journey navigating a field where Latinx voices are often underrepresented. Today, Karen shares how financial setbacks nearly took her off the path entirely, why community support is essential for anyone building a platform, and how she’s learned to give imposter syndrome just five minutes before moving forward. https://www.instagram.com/latinxartcollective/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/latinainmuseums/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The natural world faces unprecedented threats, challenging historical perceptions of nature as inexhaustible. Photographer Tim Flach draws on his acclaimed works, including Endangered, More Than Human, and Birds, to reveal how photography transcends traditional wildlife representation. By employing critical anthropomorphism and human portraiture techniques, Flach's images foster empathy and kinship with animals. Collaborating with social scientists, he illustrates how visual storytelling evokes emotional responses and inspires conservation action, showcasing the profound intersection of art, science, and social awareness in the Anthropocene.This lecture was recorded by Tim Flach on the 2nd of October 2025 at Barnards Inn Hall, LondonRenowned photographer Tim Flach is known for his stylised animal portraits. He has dedicated his career to documenting biodiversity and conveying empathy for our planet's endangered creatures. Driven by a desire to share stories of the natural world, he collaborates with scientists to research how imagery can better lead to pro-environmental outcomes. He has seven main bodies of work which have been exhibited worldwide, including shows at the Museums of Natural History, from Paris to Beijing. He has six internationally award-winning books translated into multiple languages. His latest publication, Feline, is scheduled for release in Fall 2025. Tim holds an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the Arts London (Norwich) and is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. He is a Senior Research Fellow (Artist in Residence) at the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing, University of Oxford, and currently serves as President of the Association of Photographers.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/animal-portraitureGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Das Konzept des geplanten Museums für Moderne Kunst „berlin modern“ überzeugt nicht, findet der Architektur- und Bauexperte Nikolaus Bernau. Nach dem Richtfest am Wochenende, bei dem auch eine Baustellen-Begehung möglich war, meint Bernau in SWR-Kultur: „Das neue Museum wird große Probleme haben wegen der hohen Betriebsmittel, die notwendig sind.“ Der Bau werde zwar teuer - 506 Millionen Euro stehen inzwischen zur Debatte – aber bei den Ausgaben für Personal, Reinigung, Ankauf und Ausstellungen sei zu knapp. Auch architektonisch ist Bernau enttäuscht: Die benachbarten Bauten von Hans Scharoun und Mies van der Rohe beziehe der Neubau nicht ein. Zur Neuen Nationalgalerie findet Bernau: „Die wird regelrecht an den Rand geschoben.“ Fragen stellen sich auch beim Konzept: „berlin modern“ setze auf ein konventionelles und elitäres Konzept: Es wolle nur Kunst zeigen. Moderne Museen, so Bernau, böten jedoch mehr an und fordert: „Es müsste ein sozial ganz offener Raum sein – es müsste Leute erreichen, die nie ins Museum gehen.“ Bei der Kunsthalle Mannheim und bei der Hamburger Kunsthalle funktioniere das hervorragend.

We're talking about how museums and schools can accurately teach American history going forward.

We're talking about how museums and schools can accurately teach American history going forward.

Lynn Scraff, Director of the National Museum of Ireland, joins Oliver in studio.

Episode No. 727 is a holiday weekend clips episode featuring artist Andrea Carlson. The Denver Art Museum just opened "Andrea Carlson: A Constant Sky," a mid-career survey. The exhibition spotlights how Carlson, who is Ojibwe and of European settler descent, creates works that challenge the colonial narratives presented by modern artists, museum collections, and cannibal genre horror films, all in ways that challenge and depart from the US landscape tradition. The exhibition was curated by Dakota Hoska, and will remain on view through February 16, 2026. The exhibition catalogue was published by Scala, Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $30-35. Museums that have featured solo exhibitions of Carlson's work include the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, New York, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Her work is in the collection of museums such as the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Denver Art Museum. She is also the co-founder of the Center for Native Futures in Chicago. This program was taped on the occasion of Carlson's 2024 solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago.

Museums across the globe are facing unprecedented challenges. In the West, public funding is shrinking, politics is creeping into the galleries, and institutions are asking hard questions about how to stay relevant to their donors and their publics. In an era of increasing scrutiny and diminishing returns, even the most established museums are questioning what long-term sustainability means. Meanwhile in China, the private museum boom that once symbolized cultural ambition and real-estate wealth is cracking, and some of these lavish new museums are having to close or scale back. In short, museums are in crisis. Senior editor Kate Brown recently worked with Margaret Carrigan, our news editor and host of the Art Market Minute, to edit a four-part series examining this issue from different angles. Margaret joins her on the podcast to talk about the takeaways and the financial, political, and ethical pressures reshaping museums. We also discuss whether this breaking point could be the start of a new era of reinvention.

The Trump administration is ordering thorough investigations of the Smithsonian Institution, claiming that exhibits are displaying damaging images of U.S. history that go against so-called "patriotism." KCSB's Emerson Good talks to Sarah Weicksel, Executive Director of the American Historical Association about the reviews and the role of museums in telling history.

Nestled in the heart of Winchester, Virginia, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) is more than just a repository of art and history—it's a vibrant, ever-evolving community hub. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael sat down with Julie Armel, the museum's Deputy Director of Marketing and Communications, to uncover the stories, exhibits, and people that make the MSV a regional treasure. The conversation opens with a sense of homecoming, as Janet recalls her long-standing relationship with the museum and marvels at its transformation over the past two decades. Julie offers listeners a sweeping overview: the MSV spans nearly 200 acres, featuring the largest green space and only working farm within Winchester's city limits. Visitors can explore formal gardens, the historic Glen Burnie House, and a dynamic galleries building that tells the story of the Shenandoah Valley through permanent and rotating exhibitions. One of the museum's standout features is its commitment to change and innovation. Julie describes the ever-shifting landscape of outdoor exhibits, from the whimsical “Gardens of Glass” to the current showstopper: “Scraposaurs,” a collection of giant prehistoric creatures crafted from scrap metal. These imaginative sculptures, including a T-Rex with John Deere rotary hoe teeth and a triceratops built on a Chevy truck frame, delight families and art lovers alike. The MSV's trails double as an art park, dotted with sculptures from local and internationally renowned artists, ensuring that every visit offers something new. Accessibility and community engagement are at the core of the MSV's mission. Julie highlights programs like “Museums for All,” which provides free admission to families on food assistance, and special events such as Dino Con, where dinosaur-themed attire earns free entry. The museum also offers free gallery admission on Wednesdays and always welcomes children under 12 at no charge. Volunteers play a vital role, contributing thousands of hours to events like Garden Lights, a spectacular annual display of LED flowers and immersive art that draws crowds from across the region. Inside, the museum's galleries are equally dynamic. Janet and Julie discuss recent and upcoming exhibitions, including a Frida Kahlo photography show and “Curated Chaos,” which offers a rare glimpse into the museum's collection storage. The MSV's educational programming is robust, with teen art clubs, workshops, and interactive activities designed to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The museum's makerspace invites creativity, while membership programs and volunteer opportunities foster a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Throughout the conversation, a recurring theme emerges: the MSV is a place where history, art, and community intersect. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime supporter, the museum offers a welcoming space to learn, create, and connect. As Julie notes, “There's something for everyone here.” With its blend of tradition and innovation, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley stands as a testament to the power of cultural institutions to enrich and inspire their communities.

Museums usually keep art behind glass or tucked in storage, but one Lawrence museum lets people get closer. We'll take a trip to “Open Fridays” at the Spencer Museum.

In this interview, Aaron sits down with Annabel from SEGD to explore how design goes far beyond what we see—it shapes how we feel, move, and remember experiences. From the World War II Museum to Olympic exhibits and even the way airports are designed, Annabel shares how thoughtful design and signage transform ordinary spaces into immersive journeys. Together, they dive into the role of colors, themes, and branding in everything from children's hospitals to landmark gateway signs, proving that design isn't just decoration—it's a powerful tool to guide, calm, and inspire.

Trump says Smithsonian museums promote "divisive, race-centered ideology," and focus too much on "how bad slavery was." How is the public responding?

In this bonus episode Sebastian answers questions from listeners about the recent series on the Parthenon Marbles. The host tangles with the ethics of repatriation requests from notorious dictators, the role of the Parthenon Marbles in inspiring the Greek Independence movement, and the path towards a true "universal museum." Sebastian also wrangles with the notorious "If I don't do it, somebody else will" argument that is often used to defend Lord Elgin. Tune-in and find out how Saddam Hussein, Dr. John, and a bunch of other history podcasts play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The White House has been home to a menagerie of pets, from working animals such as horses and sheep, to companions of the Scottish Terrier and Siamese cat varieties - with the odd raccoon, cow, or badger thrown in, as well. Like the almost 90 million American households who have a pet, many First Families have brought animals home even when the address was 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. White House Historical Association president Stewart McLaurin meets Alan Price, director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and takes a tour of their new exhibit, Presidential Pets. Museum curators have gathered rarely seen items from their own collection, including dog biscuits kept in President Kennedy's desk to feed the pups who visited him in the Oval Office. Other Presidential Libraries and Museums have loaned dozens of items to help tell the story of the creatures who have inhabited the White House. In this episode you'll see a Navy coat made for Fala, the beloved Scottie of President Franklin D. Roosevelt; a doghouse in the shape of the White House made for Rex, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cherished by the Reagans; a saddle and riding crop used by President Theodore Roosevelt; and a rare look at a passport made for Pushinka, the dog gifted by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to the Kennedy family. The exhibit runs through April 26, 2026 at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.A copy of the White House History Quarterly  “Animals at Work in White House History” edition can be purchased at this link.

The Art Newspaper's chief contributing editor, Gareth Harris, has just published a new book, Towards the Ethical Art Museum, which explores a range of issues affecting museums in the 21st century, from questions of provenance and restitution to funding and governance and responsibilities to staff and the communities the museums serve. He joins Ben Luke to discuss the book. One of the exhibitions of the year has just opened in Florence in Italy: the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco are jointly presenting Fra Angelico, devoted to the great 15th-century Florentine master. Our digital editor, Alexander Morrison talks to Carl Brandon Strehlke, a curator emeritus of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and curator of the exhibition. And this episode's Work of the Week is PsychoBarn (Cut-Up) by Cornelia Parker, an installation first made in 2023 and relating closely to the British artist's 2016 project for the roof commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Transitional Object (PsychoBarn). The work is in a major new group exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Ghosts: Visualising the Supernatural and Luke speaks to its curator, Eva Reifert.Towards the Ethical Art Museum, by Gareth Harris, published by Lund Humphries, out now in the UK, £19.99 (hb), published in November in the US and Canada, US $34.99, CA $46.99.Fra Angelico, Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco, Florence, 26 September-25 January 2026.Ghosts: Visualising the Supernatural, Kunstmuseum, Basel, until 8 March 2026.Student subscription offer: stay connected to the art world from your first lecture to your final dissertation with a three-year student subscription to The Art Newspaper for just £99/$112/€105.

“We don't need to find an end solution, but it's a space where we can speculate, imagine, and practice our foresight. We can be part of a bigger imagination together with an institutional framework, which is really what we try to motivate as well when we communicate these exhibitions to our audience and speak with our guests about these works. We can also sense that it's really a place where a lot of people like to enter these days. When you turn on a TV, look at a newspaper, listen to your radio, or speak with your friends, it seems like the world is falling apart on so many levels. It's such a challenging time. I think we can also offer this space for reflection and hopefully provide a reflection that gives some idea or feeling of agency.For me, it's this awe that I feel every time I meet an artist who has the courage to deal with what it means to be in the world as a human being and to tackle it from different ways and through different media. I always feel that through the collaborations I have with artists, I learn a little bit more about the world.”In the ever-evolving world of contemporary art, some voices rise to shape the conversation in truly profound ways. Marie Nipper has spent her career at the nexus of institutional leadership, curatorial innovation, and artistic collaboration. As the director of the ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art in Denmark, she is not just leading a museum; she's rethinking its very purpose—from an artistic lab to a public town square. Her journey has taken her from the hallowed halls of the TATE and ARoS to the forward-thinking spaces of Copenhagen Contemporary, all while championing the freedom of artists and the civic role of the museum.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
