It’s pretty cool to see that the first museum has taken MAN’s latest focus-attention-on-collections gimmick list-whoring series of data-driven posts and has built on the idea.
The Indianapolis Museum of Art has put together a fantastic blog post on the ten most-accessed-online works in its collection, complete with multi-year trends and an analysis of why this, why now. Don’t miss it. [Image: Tim Hawkinson, Mobius Ship, 2006. Collection of the IMA... and its No. 1 most-viewed work in 2011.]
I wonder what museums will be next…


The Getty’s Iris blog did something similar this past December: http://blogs.getty.edu/iris/justice-vengeance-crime-love-and-van-gogh/
They used Google Analytics to see which three pieces in the collection received the most attention… would be nice to see them expand it to a Top Ten…
