As a wheelchair user, I really appreciate your talking about access in these videos!! Thanks so much! I hope I can go to this museum someday because it sounds awesome.
Christeah, this was a wonderful presentation--makes me want to visit! Just returned from a trip to Savanah and Charleston. We visited the Charleston Museum of African American History. This was a 5/5 rated museum across all spectra. So well done, I could revisit to go back to displays that, due to museum fatigue, I didn't give myself time to appreciate. Learned a lot. especially about Gullah Geechee culture. We also saw the Prohibition Musem in Savannah. Small, but well done. It was definitely operating with a limited budget but had assembled a lot of artifacts from both sides of the issue. Again, I learned a lot. I love a museum. I look forward to more of your content.
I might be dense, but what is the significance of offering the "simplified Chinese" option? Are they anticipating a lot of people who didn't learn all the nuances of Chinese but still wanting to read in that language going to the museum? That museum sounds amazing. I wish it was a lot closer!
The difference between Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters is from the Cultural Revolution and Mao. Mao wanted to 'modernize' Chinese and had all the characters simplified (fewer strokes needed to write them). This does not make it easier to read or learn, it's not like print vs. cursive. The characters are not mixed, something is written in EITHER simplified OR traditional, not both. Mainland China uses simplified; Taiwan, Singapore, and (maybe) Hong Kong use traditional. To only use one writing set is to take a political stance and would alienate large portions of the population.
This was really great! As an American on the East coast, I'm not very up on Canadian history. I guess I shouldn't be surprised about racist governmental policies 100 years ago, no matter what the country is. It's so sad.
Great video! Thank you for highlighting this important public resource

I haven't heard of those ones, I'll have to check them out!
I hope you enjoy this video! Hoping to go further afield and to bring you along to many more museums in the next few months, so stay tuned 🖤
This sounds so cool! If I'm ever in the area I'll have to visit :D

Canada certainly has its fair share of racist policies.

I'm really sorry you lost your job and that our government isn't supporting funding the preservation of our history.
