i can has mewseum (Or, Should Your Museum Acquire A LoLCat?)
This post is a joke. Or at least, it started as one. A week or so ago, when everyone was busy meowbify-ing their collections, Oonagh Murphy pondered whether any museums had a curator of cats. Not too long after, my own thoughts turned to the question of whether any museums had acquired a LoLCat.
At first blush, it might seem like a frivolous inquiry.
Can LoLCats be classed as significant cultural artefacts, and do they belong in Museums? Suse Cairns (Museum Geek) investigates, with the help of our New Media Curator, Tom Woolley.
