Why Pinterest?

• A visual platform is suited to visual art

• The network's growth allows us to reach new
  audiences

• We have a wealth of content to share

• Allows users to discover more on our website
A Thematic Approach
Theme-focused boards allow users to enjoy works of
art from a variety of cultures and time periods without
feeling overwhelmed
Selecting Objects by Type
Striking Swords: The Deadly and the Delightful
Selecting Objects by Motif
The Radiant Peacock: Associated with royalty and
symbolizing beauty, immortality and exoticism, the
peacock has long been a favorite motif of artists
Novel Ways to Highlight Content
Museum staff were invited to share personal perspectives
on works of art in the 100-episode series Connections.
This program translates beautifully to Pinterest
Beyond Images

• Pin videos from YouTube and Vimeo
• Share blog posts and essays—keep it visually
  compelling
• Start conversations. Use @[user name] to reach a
  specific person
• Take advantage of hashtags
• Use Google Analytics and look into the growing
  arsenal of Pinterest-specific tools
• Have fun! Frankly, it's difficult to avoid
