Museums on Twitter: Girl Power Edition
I'll be the first to admit it. I love Twitter. I’ve been able to connect with so many people, organizations and companies in the past year - it's incredible! That being said, something awesome happened on Twitter yesterday. #Women2Follow, a hashtag that's the brainchild of @WomenWhoTech, had a few of us focusing on museums with women directors (thanks, @cjn212!). The geneder imbalance in leadership positions at museums is well-documented, so we felt it was important to shed light on the museums who are not only led by women, but who are taking a technological leap and getting involved in social media.
Here’s the list that we got of museums on Twitter that are headed up by women directors, CEOs, and presidents. Did I miss one? Let me know in the comments!
