[REBROADCAST FROM November 7, 2025] In December 1974, the writer Linda Rosenkrantz recorded a conversation with the influential downtown photographer Peter Hujar, to hear how he spent a day over a 24 hour period. The tape of the conversation has been lost, but a transcript was recently discovered at The Morgan Library & Museum. The transcript has been adapted almost word for word in a new movie adaptation, "Peter Hujar's Day" starring Ben Whishaw playing Hujar and Rebecca Hall as Rosenkrantz. Director Ira Sachs talks about the film, which was a nominee at this year's Independent Spirit Awards.

Last summer, the State Library of Louisiana introduced the Check Out Louisiana Museums program. It grants free admission to a selection of museums in the state for library cardholders. Six months later, the program has 24 participating library systems and 17 participating museums. And it's passed a landmark — $100,000 worth in museum passes handed out to library cardholders for free.Kevin Calbert, communications director for the State Library of Louisiana, joins us for more on the success of the program.Last month, a video circulated on Instagram that purported to show crumbling pilings under the Atchafalaya Basin bridge– the bridge that carries Interstate 10 between Baton Rouge and Lafayette. But there was one problem — the bridge that was depicted was actually a bridge in Florida and had nothing to do with Louisiana.As it made its social media rounds, it got plenty of interaction. Most people took the narrator at their word and bemoaned the state's disintegrating infrastructure. Others — including Governor Jeff Landry — fact-checked it.Faimon Roberts, columnist for The Times-Picayune/The Advocate, joins us for more on the importance of fact-checking news that spreads through social media. Over the weekend, dozens of lawnmowers in Abita Springs lined up for the Krewe of Push of Mow, the town's annual lawnmower Mardi Gras parade.

For over 20 years, truck driver Joe Macken worked to make a model of New York City, building by building, block by block. He finished in 2025, and after his kids encouraged him to post about the project online, Macken quickly went viral, garnering millions of views. The result of that publicity is a new exhibit open at the Museum of the City of New York, 'He Built This City: Joe Macken's Model,' which displays Macken's creation in full for the first time in New York City. Macken discusses his inspiration for the project alongside curator Elisabeth Sherman.

What is the future of the built environment? The National Building Museum in Washington, DC, where AFIRE members tour this week during our Winter Conference, is a museum about the world we design and build. The museum's exhibits celebrate building architecture, design, engineering, construction—and the act of urban planning. But most of all, it's a showcase for the imagination and ambitions of those who help create what we call real estate. In this podcast, AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson interviews James Ball, the National Building Museum's director of future cities, about the past, present and future of the structures we exist in every day. This conversation is geared to people who invest in developing buildings around the world.

Pella Historical Museums Director Jessi Galligan discusses the wrap up to their Winterim programs this month and the re-opening of the Historical Village in the spring.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Vedet Coleman-Robinson, President and CEO of the Association of African American Museums. A historian by training and a cultural steward by calling, Dr. Coleman-Robinson leads a national organization dedicated to preserving, protecting, and advancing Black history year-round. Under her leadership, AAAM supports museums and cultural institutions that chronicle civil rights struggles, honor trailblazers, and confront the inequities that continue to shape American life.As the nation approaches the 100th anniversary of Black history commemorations in the United States, her work reminds us that history is not static, it is lived, carried, and responsibly stewarded for future generations.

I have three questions for you. One - What are your parents’ names? You can probably answer that easily. Two - What are your grandparents’ names? You can probably answer that as well. Now here's the third question. What are the names of your great grandparents? Do you know? Off the top of your head… This is not a scientific survey, but I’ve asked enough people this question to be fairly confident that most people cannot tell you the names of their great grandparents. It doesn't take very long for us to lose track of our history. And that's just in our own family. For something as complex and large as the City of New Orleans, we have a repository of our collective memory. It’s called the Historic New Orleans Collection. It opened its doors as a small museum in the French Quarter in 1970. Today, under the current leadership of President and CEO Daniel Hammer, HNOC has grown to 14 historic buildings spread over 3 blocks in the Quarter. It houses over 1 million artefacts, it publishes books, and a quarterly magazine. When you go to a transportation museum, you see cars, boats, and planes. When you go to a music museum, you see musical instruments and hear songs. When you go to a history museum, you can't actually see history. What you do see is representations of history, usually in the form of documents and photographs. History is a retrospective ordering of what were at one point live events. Museums of the future will be able to display historical events of today as they happened in real time - in the form of video. Not only do we record and post countless hours of human activity on video, we also live stream it. If you'd like to see human history being made right now, from pretty much any place in the world, you can do that, at a website or app called Who’s Live. Who’s Live is an aggregator of live streaming video from around the world and across the country, categorized into sections like News, Sports, Education, Gaming, and many more. There is literally something for everyone, 24 hours a day, on Who’s Live. And it’s the brainchild of New Orleanian, Nate Voerhoeven. When someone tells you, “That was then but this is now,” it’s generally not good. It’s typically a shorthand way of saying, “Things have changed and you need to keep up.” But, when you think about it, “Then” and “Now” is all we’ve got. As far back as The New Testament, we’re warned that we’re not promised tomorrow. So we need to make the most of the present moment. There’s probably nobody on earth who is doing more than Nate Verhoeven to channel every human current event into a single present moment. And there’s nobody in New Orleans doing more than Daniel Hammer to preserve the most significant of those events for future generations.

Dapi l'onn 1960 è ina gronda collecziun da fotografias veglias dal Grischun stada emblidada en il tschaler dal Museum da la communicaziun a Berna.

I sa tracta cunzunt da fotografias da l'Engiadina enturn il 1900. Ellas dattan novs sguards en il passà: sguards davos las culissas dal turissem glamurus da quella giada. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seit 1960 war eine grosse Sammlung mit alten Fotografien aus Graubünden im Keller des Museums für Kommunikation in Bern vergessen. Nun kehrt dieser Schatz nach Hause in die Fotostiftung Graubünden in Chur zurück: 50 000 historische Fotografien von der ehemaligen Druckerei Engadin Press in Samedan. Es handelt sich dabei vor allem um Fotografien aus dem Engadin um 1900. Sie geben neue Blicke in die Vergangenheit: Blicke hinter die Kulissen des aufkommenden, glamourösen Tourismus.

Das Computerspielemuseum ist eine wichtige und beliebte Adresse für SpielefreundInnen: In diesen Berliner heiligen Hallen erzählt eine Dauerausstellung von der Geschichte des Mediums, während regelmäßig kleinere und größere Sonderausstellungen unterschiedlichste Aspekte der Spielkultur beleuchten. Dazu kommen noch Vortragsreihen, Exkursionen, spielbare Arcade-Automaten und Schulworkshops - mit anderen Worten: Im Computerspielemuseum gibt es weitaus mehr als "nur" klassische Glasvitrinen. Martin Görlich ist einer der Geschäftsführer des Computerspielemuseums und damit hauptverantwortlich für eine ganze Reihe von wichtigen Dingen: Bilanzen, Kooperationen, Ausstellungskonzepte, die Liste ist fast so lang wie der durchschnittliche Arbeitstag von Martin. Trotzdem hat er die Zeit gefunden, mit Dom Schott hinter die Kulissen des Museums zu spazieren. Der Geschäftsführer erzählt von den großen Herausforderungen, denen er sich täglich gegenübersieht, von Arbeiten an Ausstellungen und wie eigentlich entschieden wird, welche Spiele im Museum ausgestellt werden dürfen - und welche dort keinen Platz haben. Apropos, "Platz", auch um den geht's.

When people think of America's war for independence, they often think of "the shot heard 'round the world" in Concord. But just weeks after the Declaration was signed, British forces clashed with the Continental army in Brooklyn, and New York City became a battleground, and subsequently wound up under British control for several years. Dominique Jean-Louis, chief historian at the Center for Brooklyn History, talks about their new exhibit "The Battle of Brooklyn: Fought and Remembered," on display at the CBH through the end of 2026.

How do societies decide which stories to tell about themselves and which truths to soften or ignore? In this episode, historian, communications strategist, and Freedom Over Fascism host Dr. Stephanie Wilson joins Corey Nathan to discuss collective memory, historical narrative, and the language shaping American civic life right now. Drawing on her academic work on Jerusalem, her experience in political communications, and her current focus on democracy and messaging, Stephanie explores how myths take hold, why people instinctively place themselves on the “right side” of history, and what happens when cruelty and dehumanization become normalized tools of power. Along the way, the conversation wrestles with Israel and Palestine, fascism and language, media failure, activism, and what it actually takes to engage across deep disagreement without abandoning moral clarity.

She is the creator and host of Freedom Over Fascism, where she examines democracy, messaging, media ecosystems, and civic engagement through conversations with journalists, scholars, and organizers.

Seven minutes, a freight elevator, and an angle grinder, that's all a small team of robbers needed to steal jewelry from the Louvre's Apollo Gallery on October 19, 2025. And this isn't unprecedented: in 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen by a museum employee and only resurfaced two years later. Faced with that kind of risk, some museums now quietly display reproductions instead of originals. Is this common? When are copies used? But can copies deceive? Do we feel the same emotion facing a copy? So, should museums swap originals for copies? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Craving a car fix without a road trip? We spin a different kind of tour: five destination-worthy automotive museums that chart the arc from brass era pioneers to Hollywood legends, then we put a cutting-edge EV under the microscope. Our journey starts with the sprawling Gilmore campus and rolls through Tacoma's LeMay, LA's Petersen, and the Henry Ford's sweeping narrative of innovation before landing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, where racing history crackles from every display.With that heritage fresh in mind, we jump into the driver's seat of the 2026 Polestar 4 dual motor. Think 544 horsepower, a sleek profile, and one audacious choice: no rear window. We talk through the consequences of camera-only rear visibility, a panoramic roof that relies on electrochromic dimming, and a minimalist cabin anchored by a 15.4-inch screen. It's clean, modern, and quick, but we weigh the trade-offs—less tactile control and more eyes-off-road moments—alongside real-world charging needs, range, and pricing that parks it in Model Y and Ioniq territory.To round it out, we tip our hats to the unsung infrastructure that makes every drive possible: America's longest tunnels, from the Hudson crossings to Colorado's high-altitude Eisenhower bore and Boston's Ted Williams. It's a look at how engineering ambition underpins car culture, whether you're walking museum floors or merging into traffic. If you love the intersection of history, design, and modern EV realities, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a fellow car nut, and drop a review to tell us which museum or EV deserves our next deep dive.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

New Yorker Jane August is making it her mission to visit every museum in New York. Not just the Met, or MoMA, but museums spread throughout the five boroughs, including smaller, less appreciated museums on more niche subjects. August discusses her project, and listeners share their favorite lesser-known museum in the city.

Episode No. 742 features artist Woody De Othello, and artists Jason Garcia, Michael Namingha, and curator Bess Murphy. The Pérez Art Museum Miami is presenting "Woody De Othello: coming forth by day," a presentation of new ceramic and wood sculptures, tiled wall works, and a large-scale bronze, all of which explore the primordial relationship between body, earth, and spirit. The exhibition was organized by Jennifer Inacio with the support of Fabiana A. Sotillo. It is on view in Miami through June 28 after which it will travel to the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, University of California, Davis. De Othello's sculpture, painting, and drawing often investigate the still life genre. His previous institutional solo exhibition was at The Bowes Museum in the UK. Museums that have featured his work in group shows include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Seattle Art Museum, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The Whitney Museum of American Art included him in its 2022 biennial. Later this year, his work will be featured in a Public Art Fund solo presentation in Brooklyn's Brooklyn Bridge Park. He is an artist trustee of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Garcia and Murphy are the co-curators of "Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country" at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. Namingha is among the 13 artists in the exhibition, 12 of whom are from the six Tewa Pueblos of northern New Mexico (Nambé, Ohkay Owingeh, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, and Tesuque).  "Tewa Nangeh" presents the work of Tewa artists while highlighting O'Keeffe's erasure of Tewa people.

When you visit the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma, you’ll see a red circular structure with a four-letter phrase written across the top: “This Is Native Land.” It’s the name of the museum’s permanent exhibit that opened in October. The phrase is a reminder that you’ve probably seen many times... But don’t be lulled into thinking you’ll know what to expect. It has been given a new lens. We went to Tacoma a few months ago to talk with the curators behind "This Is Native Land" about how the exhibit came together... and how it challenges the typical ways that museums portray Indigenous people. Guests: Todd Clark, tribal liaison for the Washington State Historical Society and co-curator of “This Is Native Land.” Danica Sterud Miller, associate professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Washington Tacoma and co-curator of "This Is Native Land."

When a Kentucky slave master beat his furniture maker to death over a handcrafted chest, the other slaves vowed revenge — and over the next century, seventeen people connected to that chest would die. | #WDRadio WEEKEND OF JAN, 2026==========HOUR ONE: A Malaysian Haunted House To Sell *** The brutal death of an African slave brings a curse upon the wooden chest he was ordered to construct. (The Conjure Chest) ***

(The Haunting of Drish House) *** Drivers are reporting strange, ghostly orbs following them on dark roads. (Haunted Roads and Spook Lights) ==========HOUR TWO: More than a hundred years ago, reports described it as “the most weird and gruesome apartment in the world.” Why display an entire room full of grotesque items and open it to the public? (New York Charnel House) *** Kell's Irish Pub in Seattle has a creepy vibe to it, even if the displays and decorations inside aren't meant to be. Perhaps that's because the building started its life as a massive mortuary. (The Beaux Arts Butterworth Building) *** Early one February morning in 1897, John Mars jumped out of bed from a sound sleep, and while the smell of breakfast cooking downstairs wafted up to the second level of the house, he inexplicably grabbed his pistol and went on a shooting spree of his own family.

#143 Looking for new places to visit in the U.S.? Listen in! In this Everyday Bucket List episode, hear about places I want to go back to again on my travel bucket list. One spot isn't what you think! Also, it's not necessarily for the location. I'm going to take you through my thought process. We cover: Repeat travel value Food and culture Museums and history In this episode, the host talks about revisiting places in the United States that left a strong impression but felt only partially explored. She shares how returning to familiar places gives travelers a chance to take things at a more relaxed pace and enjoy things they may have missed the first time around. The discussion highlights revisiting cities for museums, food, history, art, and cultural experiences rather than trying to see everything at once. The host also emphasizes that interests can change over time, making repeat visits feel fresh and meaningful. Overall, the episode encourages travelers to view repeat trips as an opportunity to add new layers to places they already love. These ideas make the perfect weekend trips in the USA or for a longer stay. Listen to these episodes next: Are 2 or 3 days enough in Washington DC?

The Trump administration says it is actively working to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education. If passed by Congress, the measure would shrink federal oversight and give more control to the states. “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott talks with Erika Mitchell, the former board chair of the Atlanta Board of Education. Mitchell discusses the current state of K-12 public education in the U.S. and shares the achievements and remaining challenges for urban school districts. Plus, it’s day two of the 2026 Georgia legislative session. State Senator Sonya Halpern joins the program to discuss the latest happenings at the state capitol, bills she's backing and those she's not. She also discusses some of the other legislative priorities for Georgia’s Senate Democrats. President Trump signed the "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" executive order last year, calling for the removal of “improper," "divisive or anti-American ideology" from federally funded establishments, such as the Smithsonian Institution. Tuesday is the deadline for the museum to provide documents about current and upcoming exhibitions and events, which could put its $1 billion budget at risk. Karen Comer Lowe, a curator, cultural strategist, and art advisor, shares her thoughts about how this effort undermines scholarly independence, artistic and curatorial freedom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.After a couple of years as a graphic designer, Rick was able to take his love of prehistoric animals and combine it with sculpting skills and found work as an exhibit designer for a small natural history museum. This led to illustrating books about dinosaurs, which then led to illustrating books about cryptids... 10 titles in all, each written by Kelly Milner Halls. Since retiring from his "day job", he still make models for museums in between illustration projects.Rick's websitehttp://www.rickspearsart.com/Kelly & Rick's Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000APA4OW/allbooks?ccs_id=1aed8a06-7ebd-4556-b6e9-3b72d52402ceClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!
