Okay #Curators, show us your favourite aisle in your collection! (Even though we already know our collection of Ice Age fossils is the coolest 😎)

What a fun conundrum to have! 😉 (And of course, the answer is empty, because most food storage objects weren't meant to hold it forever and the can is the important part anyway! Wouldn't want beer all over other artifacts.)

Today I went out and bought 8 cans of the Holy Roller Lager on sale locally in #ldnont for the #FirstHussars Museum to add to our collection of museum artifacts. My question for twitter followers should I add to collection as full cans or empties. Truly a question for the ages.

Working on something exciting as we continue to do our museum work from home.

Today is #MuseumSelfieDay! Our staff like Nikki, enjoy working in our various exhibition spaces like the larder which is one of the most authentic spaces in the museum. Share your favourite #museumselfie with us! #ldnont #museums

Here are some highlights from the #PauseToRemember event with Team Legion, as gamers laid down their controllers and four Second World War Veterans teamed up to share their experiences on @Twitch and Facebook live. #RemembranceDay #GetYourPoppy #CanadaRemembers

@HistoricaCanada released a Heritage Minute years ago on Osborn. There is also a reference in this video to J.K. Lawson.

Both gave their lives along with many others in the Defence with Osborn being awarded the 1st Victoria Cross of the war posthumously.

Welcome to my new twitter account dedicated to all things public heritage. How fitting my first tweets should come on Remembrance Day. #LestWeForget
