Local museums are places of inspiration, education and civic pride but are increasingly under threat…
Letter @thetimes from English Civic Museums Network.
Let there be light! Thanks to generous funding from the Friends of Leeds City Museums @LeedsMuseums and the expertise of @Glasshaus_ visitors to Abbey House Museum can enjoy our displays without straining their eyes!
We’re recruiting for a parental leave cover Curator of Exhibitions role (22 hours a week) to deliver the exhibition programme @LeedsCityMuseum within @LeedsMuseums 👉🏻 https://t.co/SQxzLpTlG3
If you have a mammoth clean-up that needs doing, @LeedsMuseums are up to the tusk! Lovely to see our mega mammoth tusk (found right here in #Leeds) making bags of national news today! 🦣 📰
“Part of the UK’s malaise is our talent for creating the kind of vacuums that are then filled by the worst actors. Our museums, are repositories of real and powerful stories: if they fall into more decay and disrepair, we should all fear the consequences”

Any experts in #Victorian#sports know how to play "nack"? Knurr & Spell we know well, and it also mentions quoits and cricket. 1875 poster linked to the #Armley Feast and the Union Cross Inn. @LeedsMuseums
Here is the 1875 poster from the fantastically named "Whisker Order" spoofing antiquarians, museums, friendly societies & local politics in #Armley#Leeds. Lots of topical jokes to unpick. @LeedsMuseums
