Cordy and Dan crack open International Museum Day (May 18th) a holiday dedicated to quiet rooms, strange artifacts, and pretending you understand modern art. They dig into its (real) origins, reflect on personal museum habits (lingering vs. speed-running), and explore how thousands of institutions in 158 countries use this day to reframe what museums actually do. From fake exhibits at home to low-stakes reverence, it’s an episode about what we choose to preserve, and what we pretend to understand.
