@_elena Be sure to point to the Danish National Gallery as an example of a similar institution which already has joined the Fediverse! https://expressional.social/@smk
@mkj absolutely! I'm super impressed by what @jonassmith has done

@amministratore I try
If by the end of 2026 the European Commission has the link to their Mastodon account on their homepage... and the Louvre joins the Fediverse, I know it would have been a very good year

@andycarolan it really is. I just joined their membership program so I can visit ALL YEAR FOR FREE... my daughter too because people 18 and under have free entry. I look forward to taking her there regularly 🥰

@_elena you might also be interested in this:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/too-many-scientists-still-say-caucasian/
Caucasian = either someone from the Caucasus region (not, typically by today's categories, a white person) or a white person under one of a handful extraordinarily racist categories.
You can just say white, if that's a useful detail! -

@_elena Membership is definitely worth it if you visit regularly! Nice to hear that under 18s get to visit for free... especially for the education value!

@andycarolan I joined because the last time I bought tickets to take the little one there she was sick... and tickets are very expensive and non-refundable.
So I thought a membership would be great as no pressure if we have to cancel at the last minute.
Plus: priority access to get in. Last Saturday we skipped a queue with 200 people in front

@_elena Oh it's awful when they miss out because of sickness. We had to abandon a vacation on the second day when my son was sick. Didn't get a refund at all, despite holiday insurance.
Looking at the prices, Louvré appears to be €95 for a solo membership... €150 for two? That's extremely good value if you visit it a few times!
Wow, that line skip must have felt awesome lol

you could tell when and where the next construction phase begins, and where to park the getaway car.
fyi: the getaway car is a '94 fiat panda, thistime

@andycarolan yeah I paid 95 for solo since for my child is free... our 3 tickets cost 22 Euros (for my husband). And indeed, skipping that insane line felt AMAZING!
sorry to hear about your son and that vacation, sigh. despite holiday insurance? what?

@_elena Membership is such great value! I imagine they have plenty of visiting exhibits too so you get to see different works?
Yes... it was suspected norovirus. They wouldn't honor the insurance as we didn't get a doctors note... which we weren't told when we left the site. Oh well.

my 5-year-old (who loves her Plushtodons) is a little frustrated there are no Mastodon t-shirts in children's sizes. She would love one
Pinging @Gargron for this request (I'd promised her I would ask)
