This thread makes me so happy ❤️
Some aircraft have beautiful lines, becoming more than just a tool for transportation. These planes make a striking visual statement. What airplanes could sit in the galleries of an art museum and compete with the great painting and sculptures of the world? #AvGeek #Airplane

"It's important that these shared experiences—of being in a museum, of walking through a botanical garden, or an aquarium—are something that brings us together. There are friends on Capitol Hill particularly seeing the importance of cultural experiences during the pandemic."
"One of the things that we've learned through the pandemic is the importance of local institutions of knowledge. Museums and libraries are providing this kind of education, information, and discussion at the local level." -IMLS Director Crosby Kemper on #MuseumsAdvocacy2022 (1/2)
