#museum30 Day 30: Why Museums

Museums are a place to learn and discover - whether the past, science, art, a specific toy or food, ...

I love following the hashtag throughout the month and seeing the different kinds of museums worldwide and how they share their area of focus.

#Museum30 Day 30 - Why Museums?

Museums engage and inspire people of all ages and nationalities, and we love being able to share the history of rugby and @allianz_stad with our visitors!

This year we welcomed rugby fans from all around the world, including Chile, Malaysia and Fiji 🗺️

Thank you for following our #Museum30 posts and exploring the Abbey and its history with us.

"Museums are for everyone to see, they are for people just like you and me"

For the final day of #Museum30 we are sharing this poem by friend of Barnsley Museums and volunteer at @DarfieldMuseum Ken Brookes #WhyMuseums

Last day of #museum30 & I'm catching up again!

@Amershammuseum does #Moving round the community in style with 'Anthony' our mobile museum (currently 3 Santa's grottos in 8 days!) Quite an #Achievement mainly down to our fab volunteer driver, Pete 🎖
1/3

[Eldon House Museum @EldonHouse1834]

The last day of #Museum30 asks our favourite question, Why Museums? Museums are important. They are centers for art, culture, and community. They preserve our past and teach us about moving forward. Communities need museums, and museums need their community to thrive.

For the final day of #museum30 I always choose the prompt “why museums?” And every year the challenge shows why - because museums are spaces for connection not only to the past but to the people who work within them!

[Gracie Price @magnifyzoology]

On my last trip to London I visited Canary Wharf, an area I’d not been to before, which gave me the perfect image for today’s prompt of ‘water’.

This Whale, made of 5 tonnes of plastic removed from the ocean, is by Jason Klimoski & Lesley Chang.

It’s somehow already day 28 of #museum30 and the prompt is mural so here’s a brilliantly colourful one from the @EdenProject

[Gracie Price @magnifyzoology]

Definitely my biggest #achievement of the last year has been completing the Ceramic Scoping Project @artukdotorg . There’s now over 6000 ceramics you can search from collections around the UK!

For #museum30 day 26 there’s no better choice from the prompt ‘moving’ than the iconic dinos at the Natural History Museum!

[Gracie Price @magnifyzoology]

Nothing says working in a museum collection quite like a full tyvek suit and mask combination!

Ive never thought of myself as a specialist of anything but I do have a lot of special interests including the study of taxidermy. I even managed to work my dissertation around it!

A career in museums is never boring! Every day is different, and often so varied. Our scientists do research, collections work, outreach, exhibitions and so much more #Careers #Museum30

🎶🎵 These boots were made for walkin’, and that’s just what they’ll do. 🎵🎶

Although they’ve not done much walking recently.

#Museum30 Day 22 - Walk

Players usually run out of the tunnel and onto the pitch, but not David Sole, who will forever be remembered for his 'slow walk' as he led @Scotlandteam to the Grand Slam in 1990 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#museum30 Day 22: Walk

A lot of the exhibits in our original wing were designed based on local landmarks or things of interest: the railroads, the transit system, etc.

Under one of our clocks is this sign showing you where to walk to see the real thing yourself.

[Art UK @artukdotorg]

Today's #Museum30 prompt is animals 🐬

For today’s prompt of #animal I’ve chosen this lovely little sparrowhawk by Jacobo de’ Barbari from the National Gallery.

I spent a week in Cornwall in April exploring the beautiful coastline and mining heritage, discovering the joy of solo walks!
