Tilly Davis, our Exhibitions and Interpretation Manager, introduces our brand new exhibition, The Age of AI, which opens today.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly developing and is already a part of our day-to-day lives. But what are the opportunities and risks of living in The Age of AI?

With its historic links to computing and people connected to AI, as well as being the venue of the world’s first AI Safety Summit, hosted by the UK Government, Bletchley Park is uniquely placed to hold this exhibition.

The Age of AI exhibition is included in your Annual Pass.

I had a wonderful time at the M+H show yesterday - it’s always great fun to meet other heritage professionals and find out more all about the exciting innovations taking place in our sector! Feeling inspired!

Fascinating talk by Christine Coulson about her new book, One Woman Show, written entirely in museum labels! Amazing to see how much emotion and detail can be packed into just 75 words!

Yay to longer days 🤩

Happy winter solstice 🌅

Each year, thousands of visitors gather around the ancient Stonehenge monument to mark the end of the longest night of the year.

The solstice represents the symbolic rebirth of the sun, marking the return of longer days.

🌅-Julian Trevelyan, 1961

Somehow I have already managed to miss a day so here is my Day 1&2 combined!

Museum & Introduction:
I am the CSO for 3 beautiful historic houses across Sutton and Site Manager for Whitehall Historic House in Cheam - a Tudor house & local history museum, dating to 1500!

Just discovered @stalbansmuseums Queering Roman History collection… it’s just a small collection but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I found the story of Elagabalus particularly interesting!

I’m going to be starting a personal project, helping one of my very talented friends archive and exhibit a contemporary theatre project.

Any tips from theatre curators about the sorts of things I should keep an eye out for with this work?!
