 My first update to Niche Museums in a while... the Vincent and Ethel Simonetti Historic Tuba Collection in Durham, North Carolina! I went with a group of five during this year's DjangoCon US 2024 - it was utterly delightful https://www.niche-museums.com/112 7 comments
... just spotted they have a photo of us on their Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/DAZRx-QSVZK/ This one really was peak Niche Museum: by appointment only, laser focused on one specific topic and the person who built the collection gives you a comprehensive hour and half tour @simon I do love this project! This teeny very specific museum might be up your alley next time you find yourself in NYC: https://www.olfactoryartkeller.com “Our exhibitions aim to engage and educate the public about the potential and diversity of scent as an artistic medium. By presenting scented objects, olfactory experiences, and smell performances as well as works of multisensory art in which odor is essential, we hope to normalize the use of scents in contemporary art.” @simon did you ever make it to this one? I must admit that after years in and around Evanston, I never have. @JoeGermuska oh no! I hadn’t heard about that one The golden rule of niche museums is to always go as soon as possible, because they are often not long for this world |
