Oh this is a good one. I have been looking around for fellow #museumworkers 🕵️‍♂️ if anyone wants to be internet friends 😎
Thank you for sharing so many great museum, gallery & library recs. We've followed a bunch of places and feel so much more at home.

We've brought together the places people shared with us into a starter pack -- featuring arts, culture & special guests. Enjoy!

In the Other Site's glory days, we had a lot of fun chatting to other museums. Because it's hard to get out much when you're, you know, literally a building.

Do you know of other museums, galleries & libraries on Bluesky? If so, please share!
