For museum professionals, you can answer with how your institution refers to frontline staff who assist with guests, but please make a note in your tags so I know not to count your answer with "the public". Thanks!

(For transparency, I am a museum professional in a history museum. I'm interested in learning more about how the general public refer to certain jobs that we have evolving names for. I'll make a follow up post after the poll ends about the results and any thoughts I have.)

Cybernetic Tortoise

Year: 1950 Inventor: Walter Grey Current Home: London Science Museum

"A landmark both in robotics and cybernetics (the science of communication and control systems), the tortoise invented by William Grey Walter was an 'artificial animal' designed to investigate brain functions.

It was devised at the Burden Neurological Institute in Bristol, a unique centre combining experimental and clinical work, established in 1939. A favourite at the science exhibition of the Festival of Britain, held at the Science Museum, under the name Machina speculatrix, was designed to behave like a simple animal.

It was wired to display certain characteristics: it travelled around floors, manoeuvred to avoid obstacles and slopes, and was equipped with a photo-receptor so that it would approach moderate light but avoid bright illumination." - Science Museum Website Entry

on thursday i met with my older brother that i hadn’t seen in ages, so we decided to go to london and do something fun together. we thought it would be cool to visit the science museum for an exhibition devoted to the psychology of music. unintentionally, i dressed in, among other items of clothing, my dramatic long beige coat, pink converse and a blue scarf. when we arrived, the attendant warned us that the museum was closing early, but if we were fast and persuasive we might make it through as the last visitors of the day. so i fucking sprint up the stairs, begin talking at 90 miles an hour to the baffled woman at the ticket desk, saying theguyattheentrancetolduswecouldspendhalfanhouratthemuseumeventhoughitstechnicallyclosedsoyouhavetoletusinpleasewespentagesgettingherespecificallyandwe’rereallypassionateaboutmusic(truth) and she was so taken aback by my bizarre insistence and audacity that she let us through

brother said bet you enjoyed all that. clocked! aoab (assigned osgood at brother). to quote mx. grimes with their bene gesserit outfit, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of larpery — it got us in to the exhibition! we had a great time.

now, i am perfectly aware that this smells like a 2012 fake tumblr story of the superlock kind, so enclosed below is some photographic evidence!

various unique musical instruments made out of bizarre household items + flame organ

tuning forks and other pitch/volume measuring implements (once again, my special interests seem to stalk me. the trailer dropped one day later. it featured a tuning fork and LOTS of ‘music psychology’)

theremin!

what a surprise

^maybe some of them become songs :)

brilliant visit. pure autism sustenance. i’ve transcended cringe i’ve become post-cringe it brings me joy and mental peace. <3

The Science Museum in London had a "wormhole jump gate" and I didn't fangirl at all. I was fine. Completely normal.

Lobsters Suck!

Only joking - this is what young people call ‘clickbait’ - we actually love lobsters and respect them deeply. On the other hand, we have absolutely zero respect for the Science Museum. We’re also only going to get louder and more annoying about this - The Science Museum has lost this fight, and they don’t even know it yet - which is low-key sad. But if you thought all we did was bang on about how scientific institutions shouldn’t be tainted by the vested interests of fossil fuel and arms companies - you’ve got another thing coming! Did you know: While crabs can move in all directions, albeit clumsily, lobsters can only move forwards or backwards. This is because the rings of their exoskeleton that wrap across their back interrupts their soft joints. ALSO: Lobsters have 20 gills on each side. There you go, two facts. Have a clawsome day, y’all - and don’t forget to keep boycotting the Science Museum!
