“Spark - the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance”

Although some of this is directed to Philadelphia museums specifically, the message is a universal one. 

Not to get on too much of a soap box (as I know I’m likely preaching to the choir), but please visit your local museums. Please visit museums when you travel. Be educated. Be inspired. Have your attitudes or perspectives challenged. Start conversations with your friends and family regarding what you see. Take a date. See a traveling exhibition. Engage with museums through social media. Support museums financially if you can. 

Love and appreciate these cultural institutions.
