If all you’ve got’s a hammer…

This from the latest Art Newspaper on hammer museums. Apparently the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles (see previous overthenet post) and the Hammer Museum in Alaska are locked in a battle of the brands. Both museums have submitted applications to own the trademark name. We're sure you'll appreciate the difficulty in differentiating between the Hammer Museum displaying contemporary art in Los Angeles and the Hammer Museum in Haines Alaska that claims to be the "first museum dedicated to providing a unique view of the past through the use of the hammer".
