With everyone joining twitter it can be difficult to know whom to follow on the micro blogging service. One of our personal favourites is Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) director Maxwell Anderson (@MaxAndersonUSA), who isn’t afraid to share the more comic aspects of a museums administrator’s day. Some recent gems include being one-uped by a Hollywood celebrity: "Jamie Foxx entertained at Indiana Black Expo luncheon today; I spoke at its cocktail hour. More subdued applause, no request for autographs." And after a bracing rafting trip down the White River, Anderson revealed plans to open a museum marina: “Back in one piece from rafting; intent on creating a boat landing on IMA property and connecting kayakers from the Art Center to downtown.” Midwestern art lovers look out for Old Man River.
