Creation Museum. My God.

Creationists seem to be more serious than I thought... In America the Creation Museum have spent 27 million $ arguing against Darwinism... My God. I must say I find it scary. Their explanation as to why dinosaur bones have not been found in the same sites as human bones, is that they were just not buried the same places! But you gotta love this riding dinosaur! Imagine going to work on one of those!




Critics have set up this webpage, the Unicorn Museum with the reasoning that "if it's in the Bible it must be true!" So there is still hope.

Pardon me for including this link from the Norwegian paper Dagbladet.

Museums and slavery

After working on this subject in my master, The New Slave Lodge - Creating a Museum of Slavery in Cape Town, I am happy to see that the subject is getting more attention in the museum world. In Museum Journal may 2007 we can read that one of my favourite museums in London, Hackney Museum, has once again done excellent work when it comes to community cooperation!
