Hello! Today I am looking at real brick and mortar MUSEUMS ON MASTODON that I would like to add to this here Collection:
🏛️ https://oslo.town/collections/117235081108654343
I found six (6) that I was able to add but I am sure there must be more! If you know of any museums that should be on this list, @ mention them below.

@matt @vagina_museum is the OG museum on mastodon.
@georgiamuseum Super! Thank you 🙏
@lavaeolus This is a great help! Thanks! 😊
@neil The @vagina_museum were the first on the list! 🙂↕️ A very strong, important and welcomed presence on Mastodon!
Aha! I didn't spot it on your list (and I can only see five entries there), so my apologies for the noise.
@neil Oh, you only see five?! That's interesting. I wonder why... maybe one exists on a blocked server? 🤔
1. @vagina_museum
2. @LeMuseum
3. @muzej
4. @georgiamuseum
5. @auschwitzmuseum
6. @valokuvamuseo
@jaz Yesss! The @sfomuseum is a good shout!
If you are reading this, my high-flying friends, please ensure the "Feature me in discovery experiences" checkbox is checked in your privacy settings:
@matt there's @vagina_museum, @smk @valokuvamuseo @ikob
(We're not, though our Boxes end up in lots of them 😁)
@museuminabox Thanks for sharing!
I already have 2 of 4 listed on the collection and the others, @smk and @ikob, can't be added to a collection right now.
If you are reading this, SMK + IKOB folk, go into your privacy settings and ensure the "Feature me in discovery experiences" option is checked ✅️
@matt @museuminabox @ikob ah yes, our instance is on v4.5.14+glitch - so that setting is too new for us.
@matt @museuminabox @ikob We’re following excitedly! 😊 We have everything turned on and don’t see that exact setting. Could it be a server thing?
@matt ah, it was tricky to flip between looking through who we follow and the list in the collection 😊
The discovery thing is easy to miss (we'd not got it set on another account we're involved in). Opt-in is the right approach for it, but then, like in @smk and @ikob's case, means you don't get added
@lavaeolus Yeah, I did the very Norwegian thing of just saying "museum" but I think I might end up adding galleries in there too. 😊
@matt it took me a while to realize the difference between my general understanding of gallery as a place where people go to buy art vs gallery as in "National Gallery" :)
But I also meant including this hashtag, as I know many folks working in museums look at it, too
@lavaeolus Thanks for broadening my audience! Much appreciated. 🤝
And yes, I did just email the Norsk Teknisk Museum to ask them to join Mastodon. Not sure if they will - but it will sure help convince them and future museums to join if they can see a list of active museums already on the platform. 🙂↕️

@matt @homecomputermuseum really needs to be on the list 😄👍
