This morning we had the pleasure of joining

Today we visited the @I_W_M for a tour of the World War II and Holocaust galleries. Special thanks to curators Kate Clements and James Bulgin for their time and specialised perspective on the decision making that goes into these exhibits. We learnt so much!

[Cornwall Trainee Curators @CornwallInterns]

Thank you to Katherine McAlpine @museumgirlldn, Director of @BrunelMuseum for taking us around and discussing the experience of working in a small museum in London. It was something we could all relate to! We loved hearing about the rich history of the site and future plans!

[Cornwall Trainee Curators @CornwallInterns]

A huge thank you to Miranda Lowe @NatHistGirl for her Black history tour, and to Patrick Campbell showing us wet stores at the Natural History Museum today @NHM_London. Both talks were deeply fascinating and insightful, and their passion and knowledge immensely inspiring! 🤩

[Cornwall Trainee Curators @CornwallInterns]

Our morning was spent visiting the Wellcome Collection @ExploreWellcome and their lovely exhibitions ‘Joy’ ‘Medicine Man’ and ‘Being Human’. We were in awe of the variety of objects on display & especially enjoyed the #updatinghappiness wall of heart-warming daily pleasures

Myself and @IsoBloomfield reflecting on Acclimatisation…

[FEAST Cornwall @FEASTCornwall]

Today we launch Shout LOUDER.

The G7 came to Cornwall. There were high expectations but the huge environmental questions remained unasked and unanswered. And then G7 was gone.

[FEAST Cornwall @FEASTCornwall]

Thanks @artsculturemag

"A broad and diverse gathering of Cornwall’s artists, alongside over 200 participants, have come together to create the wide and varied set of powerful projects that make artistic statements"

It was interesting hearing people so passionate about where they live and how they've already noticed changes. What can we do to stop climate change? #culturetakesaction #acclimatisationconversation #COP26

[KatiePritchard @K8iePritchard]

We had some great conversations with locals in Hayle and Penzance. We’d love to hear your ideas too- add to the thread!

@K8iePritchard @NoseyHedgehog It was such a great idea @K8iePritchard to make our own costume in this was. I really loved it.
