Sarah Garcia forwards-
The results from the national competition for the MUSE awards are in:
The HarborWalk Walking Cinema won the GOLD! Go Gloucester!
In our category – "Audio Tours & Podcasts" – the winners were:
Gold – Walking Cinema: Posts from Gloucester, Maritime Gloucester and Untravel Media
Silver – Riddle of the Room family, Barnes Foundation
Bronze – The History Explorer, National Museum of American History
Peter Sollogub from Cambridge 7 Associates tells us that in the history of the MUSE awards, they have only won a gold once: for the Patriots Hall of Fame! We are in good company. (and aren’t we in the Patriots Hall of Fame too?!)
Thank you Cambridge 7 Associates for designing a Walk with the originality and quirkiness of Gloucester. The Walking Cinema are great fun!
Best to all,
Sarah Garcia
Catherine Ryan adds-
h, my goodness. The nomination itself is an achievement. Gold– Congratulations! 2013 HarborWalk = MUSE AWARD WINNER
2012 Last year’s winner in the same category went to 2 museums partnering: the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the African American Museum of Philadelphia (gold). The silver went to the Getty (as it did in 2010).
2011 gold was LA Museum of the Holocaust
2010 gold was Chicago History Museum
2009 gold was Mauerguide: Walk the Wall (Berlin Wall)
There’s always competition and big players vying (eg Whitney and MoMa last year winning in other categories). It’s definitely good company to be in. I can’t wait to hear the complete 2013 list and see Gloucester in the mix.
Sincerely,
Catherine
