Had a lot of fun making a wartime shortbread as part of #MuseumWeek Today’s focus was #environment so we looked at the topic of minimising food waste by exploring #WW2 rationing recipes. A lot of fun and the staff/volunteers loved it! #baking #recipe #rations

Happy Saint David’s Day!

[The Royal Welsh Museum @RW_Museum]

#MuseumCollectionChallenge the theme is #StDavidsDay. Here is a #throwback to c.1994/5 where our regimental mascot can be seen participating in the Leek Eating Ceremony! We're not convinced on the taste though...

[The Royal Welsh Museum @RW_Museum]

Its #LoveYourPetDay today! Did you know we have a long tradition of having a goat as our regimental mascot/pet? Learn a little more here: https://t.co/XP3aKCaxlU

Enjoying seeing all of the #ValentinesDay content. I particularly like that stamps have meaning!

[Buckinghamshire Archives @BucksArchives]

As it's Valentine's Day, here's a postcard revealing the romantic meanings behind the different angles that stamps are affixed to your post. Just be careful the next time you're in a hurry to send something... #ValentinesDay #exploreyourarchive

This week's #MuseumCollectionChallenge is #miniatures. Here we have a close up of our large Rorke's Drift diorama from our Zulu Room. This diorama was made by a former curator. Have you seen it during your visit?

[The Royal Welsh Museum @RW_Museum]

#MuseumCollectionChallenge is back! Join us this Tuesday (Feb 1st) for the theme of #Miniatures. We look forward to seeing what you have in your collections!

[Amanda Rosewarne @Curator_Amanda]

@EleanorKThomas I was doing an inspection of storage cupboards to see if any weren’t being used. Yup. Definitely being used…

We will be focusing on the lower proper right section of the door focusing on better understanding how the door was carved and re-carved both on ancient times and more recently

[Amanda Rosewarne @Curator_Amanda]
