Now that the new IMA web site is live, we want to take time to introduce you to some new features over the next few weeks. Rob gave a behind the scenes look at many of these features last week, but we’ll be going into more detail.
First up, collections search.
Search is available on every page on the site.

38 Years of Super Bowl Commercials
Blog: 38 Years of Super Bowl Commercials
Let’s face it- the day after the Super Bowl is usually spent talking about the commercials. Whether you loved or hated what you saw last night, here’s your chance to relive 38 years’ worth of ads. Not a blog, per-say, but enjoy none the less.
ArtBabble Video: Mildred Howard: Abode- Sanctuary for the Familia(r)
For this video the San Jose Museum of Art sat down with artist Mildred Howard to talk to her about her 1994 artwork Abode: Sanctuary for the Familia(r). The work recently changed from promised gift to gift and is now officially part of the SJMA permanent collection.
We took a walk around the Art and Nature Park Wednesday afternoon. There was some sun but it was surprisingly chilly. What a change from what it was several years ago before the Grounds Guys started doing all the removal of weedy shrubs and trees. Wildflowers like Anemonella were up in multiple places but the animals were far more attention-getting.
Saw several feathered and furred creatures on the river – a great blue heron (twice), mallard and bufflehead ducks, and three beavers.

You may have heard, that we softly launched the new IMA website on Tuesday? Well, we were kind of busy with that recently. But we’ve kept our eyes on a couple of other projects, including a major video documentary. You may recall our first major documentary, on Maya Lin which we debuted on ArtBabble. A pic of Dan on location for that documentary, below.

We challenged America to submit to be the IMA’s next top blogger and America answered. Over the course of the next month, we’ll post the finalists in the IMA’s “So You Think You Can Blog” contest. After we’ve posted all five entries, we’ll let our blog readers vote for the winner. This week: Meet Crystal Hammon.
If I want to become part of the IMA’s blogging team (and I do), I’m supposed to write something about myself and the best anecdote or experience I had at the museum.
What is best? Best for you to read or best for me to have? I don’t know. It’s all been good. So I’ll just give you my top five experiences and let you decide what’s best. Let’s save the boring bio stuff for the end. I’ll try not to make it too boring, yet totally true. Have you noticed how easily people brag/exaggerate in their online bios? Everybody is a guru of something. Not me. But we’ll talk about that later. Read the rest of this entry »
