Awesome weekend taking our Moving Museum to meet The Flying Scotsman! 🚂 We had a lovely time showing families and railway enthusiasts lots of railway-related objects from the Doncaster Grammar School Railway Collection that we care for @DanumGLAM.

@cathypilk Nothing makes me cry like the closing few minutes of the film Pride - union banners + Billy Bragg is a sob fest

@RSMuseumStudies I just read this this afternoon Richard! Very helpful - it made me feel much more confident about some work we’re going to be doing next year!

A great day @Doncaster_Pride with our Moving Museum! 🏳️‍🌈 Had great chats about the objects with so many people, everyone from toddlers to drag queens. Unfortunately I now have a blister from making hundreds of badges, but all part of the outreach experience! 🌈

Fantastic first week in my new job as Community Curator @DanumGLAM! I met so many lovely new colleagues and members of the community, and I can’t wait to get stuck in! One of my highlights was seeing these two trains, and the terrifying video of how they got into the gallery 🚂

Ten little ducklings had to be rescued from a railway cart at Leeds Industrial Museum and it might be the most wholesome thing we've ever seen. Ever.

Had a great time speaking at the @mus_ethno_group conference yesterday! Thrilled to get to shout about musical instrument collections to fellow museum nerds. Lots of fascinating topics covered - my highlight was all of the database geekery. Excited to hear more today!

Understanding stolen objects: a 🧵

Talking with someone yesterday I realised how few people really understand the repatriation debate in UK museums and the sheer scale of the problem. So I’m going to try and lay it out. 1/

Spotlight on #MAAStoresMove brings together objects chosen by the whole team, and what they mean to them.

Hear from Collections Assistant Eleanor Beestin-Sheriff about this West African balafon, and how it was made whole again 🎶
