No matter where you stand on the current debate about transcultural works of art and cultural appropriation, there is so much to be learned by the evidence contained within objects. A remarkable example, citing a remarkable object, was showcased in today's New York Times, Puccini’s ‘Butterfly’ and ‘Turandot’: More Than Appropriation https://lnkd.in/eMG3kikW This spring we recognize the twentieth anniversary of the Morris Museum beginning its stewardship of the Guinness Collection. Our care for the music box cited in the lede, which was a touchstone for Puccini is not only about housing a cultural artifact. It extends, rather, to making the experience of that object and ensure it is availability to scholars and enthusiasts and creative professionals alike.

We are excited to be the location for the next Film Ready Workshop on April 23. “The Film Ready New Jersey Program is helping the state’s film industry grow by giving municipalities and counties the tools needed to welcome top-tier productions to their communities,” NJEDA CEO Tim Sullivan said. “As more productions choose New Jersey as their backdrop, the training provided by the Film Ready Program will generate an economic boost for communities across the state by creating jobs, supporting small businesses and attracting tourism.” For more info: https://lnkd.in/ejS9Q9ev
