I'm excited to announce the following event:
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM TO HOST WIKIPEDIA “GUGG-A-THON” IN EARLY OCTOBER
The Guggenheim Museum will host a Wikipedia “Gugg-a-thon” on Tuesday,
October 7, 2014 from 2pm - 8pm, to support contributions to Wikipedia’s
content on museum architecture. Join us at the Guggenheim to add
information about museum architecture to the world’s largest source of free
knowledge during the fourth annual month-long Archtober festival.
The program will include welcoming remarks by notable scholars in the field
of museum architecture, an overview of the Guggenheim’s own architecture
and design, and background on Wikipedia’s role as an institutional partner.
The agenda also includes a free, backstage, architectural tour of the
Guggenheim Museum. Light refreshments will be provided. Registration
strongly recommended. Remote participation encouraged.
