This blog/rss feed addressing fashion from the Costume Institue is now closed but it is interesting to see interaction of the exhibition goers with the exhibition pieces - comments ranged from 'this is cute' to longer explorations on the history of a fashion. It also shows the potential for an exhibition curator to 'speak' directly with the exhibition viewers - tapping them on the shoulder to say more than they were able to fit into the caption on the wall or the paragraph in the catalogue or answer their questions. (Fingers-crossed that link worked - after seven weeks I'm a bit rusty)

Is too much information ever enough?
My catch-up week lasted a bit longer than planned (about seven weeks since I last looked at Learning 2.0, but who's counting?) - partly time constraints and partly avoiding the great unknown of rss feeds. But I shall fear no more. Searching for interesting feeds was a bit tedious (if I spent more time just surfing the net I'd probably have more favourites ready for this week's task) and I can see the possibility of being inundated by rss. I'll check back in to Google Reader over the next couple of weeks and see if too much information is ever enough (to paraphrase Roy and HG).

Yes your link worked ... welcome back.
It must be quite encouraging and confronting for curators to have such public dialogues with clients / visitors about the exhibitions. We had a similar challenge enabling comments on our lesson pages in the Learning 2.0 blog. Yet, it has been encouraging to see positive feedback contributed as well as the occasional scream of frustration from our 'learners' ... and the answers / comments contributed by other readers take the discussion even further along. A similar phenomenon can be seen in the comments on some of the Library of Congress photos in Flickr.
