#PagesOfEnlightenment: an online conversation about books

January 14, 2017

#PagesOfEnlightenment

In conjunction with the exhibition The Age of Enlightenment: The Pierre Conlon Book Collection we’re launching a new digital collaborative project!

#PagesOfEnlightenment is an online conversation about the role of books in our lives, from the academic to the lighthearted.
Simply share your ideas and pictures on Instagram using the hashtag #PagesOfEnlightenment.

We’ll be looking at your contributions, works in the exhibition and talking books every Wednesday morning at 10:30 on Periscope. Hope to see you there! Follow us on Instagram and Periscope @macmuseum

And, for those who like to plan ahead, start thinking about what you might post for our Instagram photo challenge from February 6 – 10!

PHOTO CHALLENGE

Monday Feb 6: What’s on your bookshelf?
Tuesday Feb 7: What’s your oldest book?
Wednesday Feb 8: Hardcopy or digital?
Thursday Feb 9: Share your yearbook!
Friday Feb 10: What’s the one book you’d NEVER give away?


Visit The Age of Enlightenment: the Pierre Conlon Book Collection exhibition until April 15.
