What do you do when you drop an Alan key inside a narrow section of a display case? Go fishing with a ziplock bag, weight, magnet and a lanyard and try not to decend in to fits of giggles @KloeBellyDance #conservation #problemSolving

Today we unveiled the First in the Fight banner at @PHMMcr Thanks to @Conservators_UK and @truvueglazing for funding the case and Out of the blue fabrications Ltd for making it for us.

As part of #CMNW21, @KloeRumsey and her colleague Jenny give us a guided tour of the @PHMMcr Conservation Studio. Nobody was tempted by the delicious lunch to stay behind - museum folk like a good look behind the scenes. 🙂

@KnowTheOrigin still waiting for a response after receiving a faculty item, almost 4 weeks later! Fast delivery but customer service is shocking.

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 I’m really happy to be able to advertise this job for textiles conservation emerging professionals. Come and help we with a mega bench work project, I’m really nice, only a bit socially awkward and I hardly *ever* listen to death metal in the studio

[Fran Coles @conservatorfran]

It was a privilege to be involved with this today. I got very wet and muddy doing a job I love. #blm #conservationinaction #conservation

@StFagansTextile @CuratorMark @Museum_Cardiff Ooh nice banner!

Hugely proud of my sister who is working as a junior doctor in Greater Manchester. They are understaffed and do not have the correct protective equipment. The government needs to be doing far more to support our health workers who are supporting us all
