From Tony, to Paulie, to Junior, the characters of The Sopranos are television legend. But just as iconic are the sets of the show. A new exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image gathers the archives of Sopranos creator David Chase, as well as sketches and designs behind some of the show's principal sets, including Dr. Melfi's office, the Soprano home, the Bada Bing strip club, and Satriale's Pork Store.

On this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast Dr. Coleman-Robinson, President and CEO of the Association of African American Museums, joins Race Forward's Chief of Staff Karla Bruce to discuss the growing scrutiny around diversity, equity, and inclusion, the ripple effects of federal shifts and funding cuts, and how institutions dedicated to preserving history are responding with resilience and purpose. Dr. Coleman-Robinson shares how cultural organizations are staying grounded in their missions, building coalitions, and continuing to document history in real time, even amid political headwinds. At a moment when public memory feels increasingly contested, this conversation underscores why preserving history is not simply about honoring the past, but about safeguarding truth, strengthening community, and protecting democracy in the present.Dr. Vedet Coleman-Robinson is President and CEO of the Association of African American Museums (AAAM), the national professional network serving Black museums and cultural institutions across the United States.

Forschende des Museums für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in Berlin sind dem Informationsgehalt 40 000 Jahre alter Zeichen auf der Spur. Dabei haben sie eine Entdeckung gemacht, die sie nun veröffentlichen. Von Maren Schibilsky

Hollywood Superstar Joe Wilson has an idea, one that could revolutionize men's decor. That idea? Rebrand the mancave to the Man Museum. Instead of treating it as an assemblage of treasures picked up along the way, treat it as your future history, one that can be used to tell your story when you leave this mortal coil. A place that can also be used to store luggage, which we're all packing at different times, before taking off in the floating misery that is air travel. Give it a listen, it's a good one. #mancave #museum #decor #flying #packing #luggage 

This episode dives deep into a dream many Francophiles share: owning a piece of Paris without the full-time commitment or price tag. In this episode, host Annie Sargent sits down with Marie Tartar, a fractional apartment owner in the Marais, to break down everything you need to know about this smart alternative to traditional real estate. If you've ever wondered how to enjoy Paris like a local—with your own keys, favorite café, and neighborhood routines—this conversation is packed with practical insights. Listen to this episode ad-free Marie shares her firsthand experience owning a share of a one-bedroom apartment in the heart of the Marais. She explains how fractional ownership works: instead of buying an entire property, you purchase a share with a small group of owners, typically 12 to 13 people. Each owner gets four weeks a year—two fixed and two floating—so you always know when your next Parisian getaway is on the calendar. Unlike timeshares, you're a deeded owner, which means you can sell your share, pass it on, or even trade weeks with other owners. Annie and Marie discuss the costs, which range from €100,000 to €800,000 depending on the size and location, plus annual dues that cover maintenance, housekeeping, and property management. For Marie, it's been a game-changer, offering the freedom of a second home without the hassle of upkeep or dealing with a French syndic. The conversation covers the perks of fractional ownership, like having a concierge on call for anything from a broken kettle to restaurant recommendations. Marie's apartment comes with a storage bin in the basement for personal items, and a WhatsApp group keeps owners connected for sharing tips on local exhibitions and hidden gems. Annie highlights the importance of choosing a well-managed property, where a strong developer handles conflicts and logistics, so you can focus on enjoying your stay. They also talk about the lifestyle—imagine spending your days exploring the Marais, visiting quirky museums like the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, and strolling to the Left Bank for movies and meals. If you love Paris but don't want the responsibility of full ownership, fractional apartments offer a flexible, lower-stress way to have a pied-à-terre in the city. Marie and Annie discuss the best neighborhoods for fractional ownership, how to find opportunities, and what to watch out for when reviewing contracts. Whether you're a frequent visitor or just dreaming of longer stays, this episode reveals how fractional ownership can make Paris feel like home. Ready to turn your Parisian dreams into reality?

Nach der Sommerfrische, dem Prinzen Heinrich und der Rheinsberger Kultur, geht es heute literarisch zu, auf den Spuren von Kurt Tucholsky im Bilderbuch für Verliebte. “Das ganze Glück ihrer großen Liebe” (Kurt Tucholsky) Der subjektive Einstieg Manchmal wird man von Büchern eingeholt und wirft einen voll aus der Realität des Lebens. Ein kleines Büchlein von Kurt Tucholsky hatte das vor etwa zwei Jahren geschafft, als ich die Geschichte mal wieder in die Hand nahm. Ein wenig glücksschwebend angesichts des Wiederlesens mit Claire und Wölfchen beschloss ich. Da wo die glücklich waren, da will auch ich mal hin. Philosophie auch in der Musikkunst Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Gefühl, Freiheit, Liebe – das alles soll Rheinsberg sein? Besuche ich etwa einen Glücksort und schwelge in Leichtigkeit? Gedacht und getan: Im letzten Herbst. Dass daraus im November ein Spätsommer werden würde, war noch nicht klar. Das Wetter jedenfalls tat sein Bestes, um Städtchen und Literatur ins beste Licht zu setzen. Der Literat Kurt Tucholsky betrat 1912 mit Rheinsberg nicht nur die literarische Bühne, er veröffentlichte damit auch seinen ersten Bestseller. Die reale Geschichte? – Else Weil, auf einer Infotafel am Ratskeller in Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ein Jahr davor (oder war es schon 1910?) verbrachte er mit seiner damaligen Verlobten Else Weil ein ähnliches Wochenende – in Rheinsberg. Oder war es genau dieses Wochenende von Wölfchen alias Kurt und Else alias Claire? Else Weil jedenfalls wurde Kurt Tucholskys erste Frau. Die Story Romantik a la Rheinsberg: Obelisk, Postsäule am Triangelplatz – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Figuren verschwimmen mit der Realität. Kurt Tucholsky und Else Weil waren um 1910 da. Ihre Alter-Egos Wolfgang und Claire traten erst mit der Veröffentlichung des Buchs im Jahr 1912 auf den Plan. Diese Vermischung hört man des Öfteren auch in den Originaltönen aus Rheinsberg. Die Charaktere geraten immer öfter durcheinander. Aber ohne Kurt kein Wölfchen und Clairchen und ohne Else auch keine Reise mit Kurt. Die beiden Geschichten könnten identisch sein und spiegeln großes Glück. Glück des Moments. Glück des Lebens? Der touristische Influencer? Das wollte ich auch herausfinden. Einige Facts deuten darauf hin. Die Sommerfrische hatte um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert dazu geführt, dass immer mehr Berliner begannen das Umland zu entdecken. Tucholsky Porträt im Museum – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Er hatte es zwar nicht beabsichtigt, aber das Büchlein sorgte im Jahr nach dem Erscheinen für einen regelrechten Rheinsberg-Boom. Es soll Sonderzüge gegeben haben, die bis zu 6.000 Menschen an einem Wochenende nach Rheinsberg und an die brandenburgischen Seen brachten. Das schafft heute allenfalls „Lonely Planet“. War Rheinsberg der „Overtourism-Sündenfall“? Wenn ja, hat es das damals 2.000 Einwohner zählende Städtchen wohl verkraftet. Merkpunkt: Die Bahn konnte und könnte sehr viel bewirken in Sachen Tourismus. Damals wurden auch kleine Orte an die Schiene angeschlossen, Mobilität ermöglicht. Das ist heute weitgehend Historie. Glücklicherweise gibt es den Bahnhof Rheinsberg und Verbindungen nach Berlin bis heute. Nur: Wie gehen Touristen heute mit Rheinsberg, Tucholsky und der kleinen wie großen Geschichte um? Den Kernsatz dazu hört Ihr im Podcast von Stadtführerin Jeanette Lehmann. Das Museum Kurt Tucholsky Museum: Dauerausstellung – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Kurt Tucholsky: Den Journalisten, Satiriker, Autoren und Menschen besser kennenlernen. Wer das möchte ist hier an der richtigen Stelle. Es ist ein kleines, aber sehr feines Museum, das sich zudem (auch im Tucholsky Sinne) um schreibende und bildende Künstler:innen mit diversen Veranstaltungen kümmert. Ich bin mit Peter Graf, dem literaturwissenschaftlich-künstlerischen Projektmanager des Museums, durch die Dauerausstellung gegangen, habe das kleine Büchlein, die Erstausgabe von „Rheinsberg“ gesehen, Tucholskys Schaffen kennengelernt und bin dem Menschen Kurt T. und seinem Schicksal begegnet. Das rührt an. Die Erstausgabe: Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Es ist sicher kein „Claire und Wölfchen Museum“; so wie Tucholsky auch nicht auf den Autoren des Bilderbuchs für Verliebte zu reduzieren ist. Wer nach Rheinsberg kommt, sollte das Kurt Tucholsky Museum im Schloss aber zur Pflichtstation machen. Es lohnt sich. Es gibt ein Kombiticket. Damit kann man die Schlossführung mitmachen und danach auch das Museum besuchen. Machen! Das Schild    Die öffentliche Liebeserklärung an das „Bilderbuch für Verliebte“ findet man in der Straße und Anlage „Am Markt“, gleich gegenüber von Ratskeller und Triangelplatz. Liebeserklärung an eine Stadt – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Tucholsky hat den Text nicht verfasst. Niemand weiß so genau, wie das erste Schild dort hingekommen ist, sagen die Rheinsberger. Fest steht aber, dass das restaurierte Schild vor einigen Jahren vom Verein Stadtgeschichte angebracht wurde. Inzwischen war klar, dass es sich hervorragend als „Insta-Location“ eignet. Ich schließe mich da gerne an: Ist toll für ein verliebtes Selfie. Ach ja, ich war ja alleine dort. Das Café Claire Café Claire – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Da darf man auch alleine hin. Es gibt wundervolle Kuchen, leckere Kaffee- und Teespezialitäten und mittags auch kleine Snacks. Über den Birnen-Schmand-Kuchen hab ich im letzten Podcast schon geschwärmt. In der ersten Novemberwoche 2025 bei 15 Grad draußen in der Sonne zu sitzen, machte mein Glück perfekt. Die Kurt Tucholsky Buchhandlung Kurt Tucholsky Buchhandlung in Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Er befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe des Café Claire in der Schlossstraße. Hier kann man alte Buchkultur schnuppern, moderne Kinderliteratur erleben und natürlich den einen oder anderen Tucholsky-Band mitnehmen. Geht auch als Geschenk. Ich finde der Laden gehört einfach zum Rheinsberg-Erlebnis dazu und das schon seit Jahrzehnten. Die Filme Es gibt zwei „Rheinsberg“ – Verfilmungen. Rheinsberg 1 Der erste stammt aus dem Jahr 1967. Kurt Hoffmann hat ihn in der BRD gedreht. Da ist von der guten alten Zeit die Rede. Eine werbende und wertende Aussage, die Kurt Tucholsky sicher verneint hätte. Trotzdem ist es – so man ein wenig Feingefühl für Romantik hat – eine tolle Verfilmung, deren Tonausschnitte ich zur Illustration der Podcast-Akteure benutzt habe. Ein Manko gibt es trotzdem. Der Film konnte damals nicht direkt in Rheinsberg gedreht werden. ES gab zwar eine Anfrage. Die zuständige DEFA lehnte das Ansinnen ab, weil sich die Örtlichkeit nicht in einem filmenswerten Zustand befände. Damit hatte sie sicher recht. Man musste ausweichen, zum Beispiel nach Gut und Schloss Panker in Schleswig-Holstein, das sich in diesem Film als Rheinsberg präsentieren musste. Und gerade auch deshalb wollte ich hin – nach Rheinsberg, um zu sehen, wie es da tatsächlich ausschaut. Ganz unter uns: Schöner als im Film. – Das war mir ganz schnell klar. Da genügte schon ein kleiner Rundgang durch den Schlosspark und auch durchs Städtchen. Heute wäre die Schlossanlage und das Schlosstheater auch wieder in „filmenswertem Zustand“. Der Restaurierung ab 1992 sei Dank. Rheinsberg 2 Hier handelt es sich um eine DEFA DDR-Produktion aus dem Jahr 1987. Zwanzig Jahre später setzt man Schloss und Umgebung geschickt in Szene. Dass die Inhalte sehr viel freizügiger „rüberkommen“ ist sicher auch der Zeit geschuldet. Man kann ihn kostenfrei bei YouTube streamen. Meine Einschätzung: Kann man auch so machen. Was fehlt ist, das auch von Tucholsky angedeutete, Berliner Idiom. Die 1967er Claire (Cornelia Froboess) bleibt hier unübertroffen. Deshalb musste ihre Stimme auch zwingend in den Podcast. Specht oder Schleiereule “Ab ins Schilf”: Grienericksee / Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Da gibt es in Buch wie Film 1 einen Disput zwischen Wölfchen und Claire. Er behauptet am See einen Specht zu hören. Sie besteht darauf, es sei eine Schleiereule. Aber die Beiden streiten ja auch darüber, ob der Baum, auf den sie blicken eine Akazie oder “ne Magnolie is”. Auf der Suche nach Claires Schleiereule laufe ich zum See. Setze mich auf eine Bank, schau direkt in den Schilfgürtel und stelle fest, dass auch ich ein wenig verliebt bin. In Rheinsberg, in Claire, in Tucholsky, ins Lesen und Träumen, in die Sehnsucht und in die Natur, in die ich gerade schaue.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with industry leaders from across the country at the American Bus Association's Marketplace 2026 in Reno, Nevada, to uncover what's next for destinations, attractions, and travelers. You'll hear from Josef Kruger of US Ghost Adventures, Aisha Jones of Mystic Seaport Museum, Jana Carter from Visit Annapolis, Kay Calzolari of Visit Winston Salem, Meredith Dollevoet from Cartersville Museum City, Jim Vozzella with 360Chicago, and Debra Tassone from Discover Long Island. Together, they share fresh insights on how storytelling, immersive activities, and hands-on programming are reshaping group experiences. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How group travel experiences are evolving to focus on immersive storytelling and hands-on engagement Strategies for collaboration between destinations, attractions, and local partners Trends shaping group travel for 2026, including wellness-focused itineraries and multi-generational groups How destinations and attractions are using customizable programming to add value and create memorable moments for visitors Why DMOs and attractions are bundling experiences and aligning their offerings to appeal to new travel trends Innovative approaches organizations are using to keep travelers engaged before, during, and after their visits How getting involved with associations like the ABA contributes to building enduring relationships and fostering continuous growth in the travel industry Innovation Through Collaboration Collaboration is no longer a "nice to have". It's mission-critical critical. Guests stress the importance of teaming up with regional partners, DMOs, and local organizations. By curating joint itineraries, sharing resources, and feeding each other's strengths, destinations can offer more complete and compelling travel experiences. Kay Calzolari of Visit Winston Salem shares how investing in personal relationships with nearby towns and attractions has enabled her to offer valuable regional itineraries, extending stays, and enhancing visitor value. This collaborative spirit isn't just about logistics, it's about approaching every partner as part of a larger community, working together to create seamless, memorable journeys for guests. Trends Driving Group Travel With the approach of major milestones like America's 250th anniversary in 2026, destinations are getting creative. Thematic travel is gaining traction, from wellness retreats and service-oriented projects to festivals and Be Revolutionary experiences, as Jana Carter describes for Annapolis. Operators are increasingly tapping into local culture, outdoor recreation, and even culinary partnerships. Museums are stepping up with exhibits that go beyond static displays. As Aisha Jones discusses, Mystic Seaport Museum is bringing in unique traveling exhibits, like shipwrecks recreated in LEGO, and launching virtual educational programs to grow engagement beyond the museum's walls. The Power of Networks At the heart of this evolution is the network effect. ABA Marketplace events and similar gatherings have become essential for building lasting industry relationships. Whether it's a first-timer bonding over shared experiences or seasoned pros joining councils and volunteer teams, the connections made drive both business and inspiration. As several guests reflect, returning to these conferences is like coming home—reconnecting with peers, learning from each other, and growing together.

[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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
