Have you ever visited the Troy Museum and Historic Village?
The Museum and Village contains 10 historic buildings, and a village green, and gives the public the chance to learn, explore, discover and enhance your understanding of the history of the City of Troy.
If you have visited the Museum, and think it is a worthwhile community place, please vote on the WDIV 4 Best of Contest. Last year, the Museum and Village was ranked the fourth best museum in the area, after The Henry Ford, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Museum of African-American History.
If you haven’t visited the Museum recently, this Summer is a good time to drop by. There are fun and interesting family-friendly activities going on every week. This week, for example, on August 13, there will be a hearthside cooking demonstration; live alpacas from Powder Puff Pacas, to show how wool is used; and story time under the story tree.
The Troy Museum and Historic Village, located on the northwest corner of Wattles and Livernois Roads, is a great place to spend a few minutes on your lunchtime, or a few hours with the family.

Museum of Modern Art Recreates Itself Online; Add Large Social Network Component
The New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has redesigned its website after seven years.
The site, moma.org, which debuted today, is, according to Randy Kennedy writing in The New York Times, "an almost complete reconstruction of how the museum presents itself online. It features livelier images from its collection and exhibitions, increased use of video and the new interactive calendars and maps... the museum wants the site to transform how the public interacts with an institution that can sometimes seem forbidding and monolithic."
The site will now include a high degree of social networking: There is a “social bar” at the bottom of the page, which when clicked will expand to show images and other information that users can “collect” and share after registering for a free account at the Web site.
Again according to the Times:

Again according to the Times:
“A user could build a portfolio of Walker Evans photographs or Elizabeth Murray paintings and send them to friends... The site will also eventually make it easy for users both casual and scholarly to trace lines of interest, digging up more information about works from publications and curators…
The new site includes an area called MoMA Voices that [museum officials]… see as a place where blogs will begin to form and where new ideas about how to have conversations will grow organically...
Museum visitors with cellphones will be able to text the number associated with an artwork to an area on the museum’s Web site. In this way they can later review and organize what they have seen.”
