Paleoanthropologist John Hawks compares the Wellcome Collection's recent "Brains: Mind as Matter" exhibition: The travels of a head whith his own blog and MOOC coverage.

My MOOC will be on this scale, again for vastly less money spent." Yes, the traveling exhibit and the blog and MOOC do different things. "Online activity can be vastly broader in terms of total visitors and international reach. Museum exhibitions can reach more deeply." But they are comparable. They have the same sort of purpose.
