A research team composed of computer scientists, data analysts, geographers, and art historians then analyze this data, painting a clearer picture of the development of the modern U.K. museum sector. Larkin was an initial researcher and continues as a co-author in the project doing much of the work thousands of miles away at Chapman.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Over the course of the project my role became sort of a museum detective, trying to work out when the museum opened, what the museum subject matter was, and where the museum was,\u201d said Larkin.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12199 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/04\/af95a7a74af1dbc45cd9ddf0cbf0718e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"208\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/04\/af95a7a74af1dbc45cd9ddf0cbf0718e.jpg 357w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/04\/af95a7a74af1dbc45cd9ddf0cbf0718e-273x300.jpg 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/>Larkin\u2019s detective work involved a lot of archival research, emails, phone call interviews with museum directors, patrons, visitors \u2013\u2013 anybody who might have been associated with museums \u2013\u2013 and online sleuthing. Several of Larkin\u2019s fellow researchers even took to driving across Great Britain to confirm the existence of these suspected museums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, these smaller museums are threatened by today\u2019s global lockdown. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mapping Museums<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has already begun examining the implications of the worldwide pandemic on museums \u2013 particularly the smaller niche museums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe magnitude of this crisis will undoubtedly cause some museums to close permanently,\u201d Larkin wrote in a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mapping Museums<\/span><\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bbk.ac.uk\/mapping-museums\/2020\/03\/25\/coronavirus-and-museum-resilience-some-preliminary-observations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on museum resilience amid closures.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Museum vulnerability is something to keep in mind as we continue into social isolation. It is important to help these smaller museums around the world that lack the financial backing of more renowned museums. Larkin and his team hope that their project help garner attention and support for museums during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Larkin, people can help by visiting museum websites and donating to their fundraisers. Even just visiting the site or talking about the museum on social media can provide leverage for these museums to gain funding down the road, preserving these cultural gems for future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunting History in the U.K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":12198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,2631],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art","category-wilkinson-college"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
