Sharing my own personal ventures into the wacky world of museums, art & culture.

So happy to share the blog post I wrote for @RailwayMuseum ! It was such an exciting opportunity to explore the WHSmith Business Archive with @lawrenti4n at the @UniRdg_SpecColl. Read to find out how we uncovered the legacy of railway bookstalls 👇

As we head into autumn, keep a look out for glorious autumnal leaves. Seeing the reds, golds and oranges is one of the best things about this season 🍂🧡

@TheMERL What goes on the scone first - jam or cream?

What helps charities to grow?

Well, according to a new report from Blackbaud, it's diversified income streams and digital maturity.

Interestingly, AI usage could also be facilitating growth.

@joevaugh4n The MERL cafe, River & Rowing Museum, St Fagans Tea Room - definitely depends on how it create a vibe that complements exhibitions

“The Maiwand Lion is thought to weight around 16 tonnes or 16,000 Kg. That’s more than 80 times heavier than a real lion”

Yet, another unrealistic body standard for cast iron sculptures.

We gave 4yo an iPad and set it up to offer her three affordances:

1. Take pictures

2. Type in notes

3. Text with a handful of people (family, a couple of family friends)

The last one is the big hit. And it is *amazing*. It is immensely developmentally valuable. Why? Well…

Getting to see the @Barbie exhibition at the @DesignMuseum was such an insightful delight. A brilliant look into Mattel’s masterful branding and storytelling.

@joevaugh4n Alternative should be the drum and bass they play at the start of Vue screenings

Oh this looks fantastic! 👀
