Museum Secrets Viewing Party Causes a Stir on Twitter

On March 1st Museum Secrets hosted several dozen bloggers in Toronto for a screening of Museum Secrets: Inside the Pergamon and Neues Museums, Berlin. Guests were also treated to a Viking sword fight demonstration and played trivia games to test their knowledge of the episode.

During the broadcast guests tweeted with viewers watching the show at home on History Television and hundreds of tweets with the #MuseumSecrets hashtag were generated … An indicator of the show’s growing online community.
