On Content Strategy (SFMOMA) - (https://www.sfmoma.org/read/on-digital-content-strategy/)
Interesting article on what kind of content museums/galleries are posting in today's digital world.
"Digital Content Strategies have become a popular topic among institutions, with many museums developing and even posting these strategies, aiming to stay accountable to their audiences. Open publishing allows museums to share details with their public, serving them and the museum mission simultaneously, while establishing trusted and sustainable audience relationships."
