What the heck is St. Joseph Museums doing?


I know that museums everywhere are struggling to stay afloat, but you’d think there would be limits to their tactics, There’s a museum — no, museums, note the plural — called St Joseph Museums that has a remarkable lack of focus. They incorporate a doll museum, a black history museum, a native American gallery, the Wyeth-Tootle mansion, and a psychiatric museum. To diffuse their expertise even more, they sponsor bus tours that are even worse. They run something called The Brothel Bus, which is not a porn video channel, and which should be punished for false advertising. We’re fortunate that The Murder Bus isn’t what it sounds like.

But worst of all, they’re running tours to…the Creation Museum and Ark Park! No legitimate museum is going to support that heap of lies and misinformation.

I guess the $2000+ payments to pack ignorant people in a bus was just too tempting.

    I’m a little perturbed by the upcoming Zoom “Psychology Social Hour – Mind, Body Equine”. I guess they are talking about the psychology of horses? But that’s still a weird topic for a museum?

    Well, that’s one way to destroy their reputation..

    I wonder if they are doing so purely out of the delusion that it is commercially a good idea that will help them economically or whether they actually believe in the Creationist mythology?

    I visited Glore Psychiatric in 2014 as part of a road trip to South Dakota. Very interesting and well done. No idea about their other museums or recent ventures

    Mind Body Equine combines equine therapy featuring second-chance rescue horses with yoga […] Built on a bottom-up approach to brain health

    Hopefully the horses don’t stand on people like the goats.

    They’ve been playing ads for the Creation Museum on Prime Video. Either they are getting desperate, or the AI adserver is going mad. Or both.
