El ingenio, en esta época en la que vivimos, es más necesario que nunca para recordarnos que, allá fuera, existe un mundo que ansia volver a la normalidad. Ese es el caso de la floral iniciativa #MuseumBouquet que está reuniendo a museos de todo el mundo con un único objetivo, ‘enviarse‘ ramos de flores (en formato obra de arte, se entiende) los unos a los otros para compartir algo más que el vacío que los llena estos días: cariño. Mucho cariño.
Y es que, con tanto silencio al otro lado de las ventanas, apetece mucho encontrar iniciativas como estas, que demuestran que, con un poco de creatividad, la conexión emocional está a sólo un tweet de distancia.
Y, para muestra, un hilo con muchas flores…
Dear @americanart, we wanted to brighten your day with these apple blossoms by American painter Martin Johnson Heade.

352 people are talking about thisIt all began when the New-York Historical Society and the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden started “sending” bouquets of flowers to other major art institutions. The first lucky recipient was the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery, which received an image of a sprig of apple blossoms by American painter Martin Johnson Heade.
Dear @AkronArtMuseum we hope this #MuseumBouquet brightens your day.

Lyman Saÿen, «Anemones,» ca. 1910-1912 https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/anemones-21682 …See americanart’s other Tweets“We hope this #MuseumBouquet brightens your day!” the historical society tweeted. The museum was quick to pay it forward, sending on a grouping of colorful blooms by H. Lyman Saÿen to the Akron Art Museum. Soon enough, hundreds of museums—365, to be exact—were filling their feeds with flora and messages of support for one another, with contributions from institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Cooper Hewitt, the Frick Collection, the MassArt Museum, the Smithsonian, the Field Museum, and the MCA Chicago.
