At The Museum Of Ratural Ratstory.
The Squeakerthals were an ancient Ratoose that coexisted with the Wooti many millennia ago. Their disappearance remains a mystery to this day although the dominant theory is that they were simply outcompeted by what became the modern Wootus. There is evidence however that at least in some cases they coexisted peacefully and even bred with the Wooti, but those who speak such blasphemy are soon silenced.

we are sorting the mannequins! it has started me so many times!
the museum is currently littered with mannequin parts and bodies as we work to sort our exhibit mannequins - which is exciting!! but also extraordinarily unnerving as I keep running into mannequins that are not where I expect them to be
Tumblr media
here are some of the less scary (newer) ones next to my archive entrance
Tumblr media
unfortunately I can't post the torsos and heads on the first floor (the ones being decommissioned) for privacy reasons. I wish I could though, because it is hard to put into words how genuinely unnerving these figures are.
immediately upon entering the museum each day I am greeted by a distant hoard of torsos, limbs, and heads decorated in obscenely dramatic makeup - the mannequins having been taken apart for ease of transport down the stairs. This is actually my first time seeing the faces of many of these figures, during the exhibit season they were covered with stockings as the makeup did not suit the clothing displayed. Which was frankly also pretty terrifying, seeing just the clear ghost of a hidden face underneath the fabric
a part of me feels bad for the ones we are disposing of?? they have spent their career in this institution, helping us display history, and now their future is wholly unknown
-- but also they are the type of model that do pose a threat to delicate historical clothing (damn you articulated arms that can pinch and tear), so I am glad we have found the means to upgrade --
ANYWHO - despite my terror the museum is once again filled with life! we are preparing for our opening, building exhibits, and diving back in to in-person projects! :)

Richard and Robert Tussaint seem bemused by a sculpture called "Apple Monster" at the Museum of Modern Art's Alexander Calder exhibit, September 30, 1943. The piece is made of tree branches and wire.

今日、ニューヨークのホイットニー美術館へ、アメリカ出身天才画家のエドワードホッパー展に行ってきました。
とにかく人が多い!もっとゆっくり見たかったけで、めちゃくちゃ人気な展示会だから仕方ないな。
チケット売り場のネオンが可愛い💕
I went to see Edward Hopper exhibit at Whitney Museum today. Since the show is very popular and closes in 2 days the place was sooo packed!!
I loved the cute neons at their ticket counter 🎟️
