Here we go! #Museums22 Looking forward to seeing everyone in person at the #museumsinmycommunity event at @NtlMuseumsScot this evening

What a treat to take a lunchtime break at the Barbara Hepworth exhibition @NatGalleriesSco #ScotModern for #InternationalMuseumsDay #IMD2022 #MuseumsAreGo @MuseumsGalScot

[Eithne Ní Chonghaile @Eithnenc]

What a treat to see some @MuseumsGalScot faces but not on Teams! And even better at the stunning @NatGalleriesSco Portrait Gallery for #InternationalMuseumDay

Watching the livestream of the morning light creeping into the chamber in Newgrange is a heartening sight - especially as the sun hast quite made it over the horizon in Edinburgh https://t.co/xwo1VilHAS @newgrangeknowth

Sharing one of my favourite museum views on #ScottishMuseumsDay - this cast iron drinking fountain gracing the grand gallery at @NtlMuseumsScot is a thing of beauty ❤

[Eithne Ní Chonghaile @Eithnenc]

So good to be back @TheBotanics

Hi Tweeters 👋 We're here, that is to say, on social media. And we've got plenty planned to keep you stocked up on inspiring, astounding art. (ps. we do requests 😉)

So it's #MuseumsSparkJoy day, but nobody told the wee guys in our 19th century cabinet of phrenolgical heads #UoEMuseums

[Eithne Ní Chonghaile @Eithnenc]

Great minds clearly @meganstamperr Your pic beats mine hand's down! #MuseumsSparkJoy

This striking sculpture at @EPICMuseumCHQ showing the many ways that millions of Irish emigrants have travelled to new countries and lives sparked poignant joy on a recent visit #MuseumsSparkJoy @MuseumsSpark

[Eithne Ní Chonghaile @Eithnenc]

The Jesus and Mary Chain were brilliant tonight at @LeithTheatre but I suspect my hearing won't be brilliant for meetings tomorrow morning @TheMaryChain
