MusicMuseum podcasts from all over the country can be found at MuseumPods.

And be sure to check out the Kansas State Historical Society's award-winning Museum Cool Things Podcast series.

Los Alamos Historical Society has many new podcasts on the history of the Manhattan Project, including Hans Bethe on neutrinos, and gatekeeper to Los Alamos, Dorothy McKibben on a not-too-bright spy.

MoviesNaturally, our favorite movies come from museums!

We are hoping that the YouTube museum group will get up and running--perhaps you can help?

Artforum on YouTube also has some museum-oriented footage.

TelevisionWe're currently looking for more museum YouTube videos, such as the one featured below. If you work at a museum that is in the MPMA region and have video materials you'd like to share, please send us a message.

Be sure to see Saint in the City: Sufi Arts of Urban Senegal | Spencer Museum of Art

We also like this ad for the Western Museum of Colorado.



...and this offering from the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History



And from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center,



Also see the large collection of videos from the BBHC's five museums at: BBHC Museums YouTube index

We're also fans of the PBS series Great Museums.

BooksToo many for us to include a full list, but here are two examples:

Rethinking the Museum
Making Museums Matter

HeroesThere are many ways that people can be heroes in the museum world.

Perhaps one of the greatest museum heroes of this generation was Stephen Weil, who passed away in 2005. He was a scholar, a museum educator, an art law specialist and an administrator at museums such as the Whitney in New York and the Hirshhorn in DC. He was also a prolific author (see Books above).

Another museum hero is Philippe de Montebello, longtime director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. His thoughts on why museums matter can be read here.

Closer to home, MPMA Business Members also are heroes! We thank you for your valuable support.

About me:

MPMA is now on GoodSearch! Go to goodsearch.com and select "Mountain-Plains Museums Association" from the drop-down menu. Then, every search you do earns MPMA $.01!



Established in 1953, the Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA) is a regional museum association that provides professional services to ten states: Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming.
MPMA has a central office in Littleton, Colorado. Its governing structure includes a board of directors and numerous committees and affiliates. Staff includes an executive director and an office assistant. This group oversees the services that MPMA provides. An annual fall conference is attended by over 300 museum professionals each year. The conference provides opportunities for all levels of professionals in training, networking, and information exchange at a relatively inexpensive cost. Over 700 individuals, institutions and businesses annually support MPMA by paying membership dues. A newsletter and a discount museum purchasing cooperative program are just few member benefits.

MPMA is one of six regional associations in the United States that works in conjunction with the American Association of Museums. The associations form the Council of Regions and meet twice yearly to advise AAM on issues relating to museums in the particular regions.

Please click here to visit the brand new MPMA website!

The 2008 Annual Conference will be held in conjunction with the Association of Midwest Museums in Kansas City, October 24-28.

Here are a few photographs from MPMA 2007 Annual Conference in Fargo, North Dakota.

Dear "Museums" and Friends,
We're announcing our new business hours:
Fridays and Saturdays from 2-7 p.m. if by any chance you're nearby, come in for a visit. Our "harpist in residence" will be playing.
Here is artist Rochelle Brown's attempt at a Rembrandt reproduction
 

 
Rembrandt
 In your eyes I see a love of painting, your brush strokes bring to life grandmother's pleading eyes. My child, my child it really is you that I see. In Rembrandt's eyes a wishing well, the best the deepest wish that ever could be...

Dear MPMA,
 
We're just getting ready for the artwalk here in Bellingham. If by any chance you're in town we'd love it if you could visit.
Here is a painting by our Navajo artist Teddy Draper:
 
Running Wild
Skip and dance, roll and run. Follow that cloud.
My friend is the night, it sings a song of stars. And never stops chasing me through the valley down below.
