Hello all,

Does anyone know of any vlogs (video blogs like a youtube chanel) that deal with museums or cultural institutions? And when I mean deal I do not meal a blog that has been started by an institution about them, I mean a blog about museum or cultural institutions in general. A non museum acquaintance of mine is trying to introduce what a museum is to his 3rd grade class before taking them on a field trip to a local museum and he thought a vlog would grab his students attention.  

Thanks,

Nicole

Dinosaurnerds.com is a Vlog that is specifically about behind-the-scenes action, including field work, in a paleontology museum.  That might be more specific than you are looking for, but is worth watching none-the-less.

Hi Nicole,

Have you looked at Emily Graslie's Brain Scoop video series? It's based in the Field Museum of Natural History, but it is about working with natural history collections more generally. And, it is FABULOUS.
