@zoecooksandsews I still haven't resolved this one! 😂

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

Fantastic trip to @BrookburnP to admire all the amazing work the year 3 pupils have done whilst looking after Horudja for us, and to see @EgyptMcr answer all their burning questions. So many hands in the air! 🙋🙋🙋🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[Dr Campbell Price @EgyptMcr]

Phew! Survived a grilling from the Year 3 pupils of @BrookburnP and saw Horudja in all his glory with @McrConservation. Great work for #ShabtisInSchools!

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

How cool is that!?! 👇

@Curator_Rebecca I like to think this is the image you have of me in your mind. It must be nearly ten years since we worked together!

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

Loving this illustration! And not just because it takes ten years off me.

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

Fantastic conservation job by our very talented intern. 👍

[Dr Campbell Price @EgyptMcr]

NEWLY CONSERVED! This cartonnage footcase comes from the mummy of a child buried at Hawara in the Graeco-Roman Period and shows the metaphysical enemies of the deceased being trampled underfoot...

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

Wish we were there! Looks fantastic! 👀

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

@MrAlderdice @McrMuseum @EgyptMcr @BrookburnP Lovely to hear all the excited conversations the kids are having about it!

[Abby Stevens @McrConservation]

Happy days... When your work life and home life meet in a fabulous way. Last week I got to install this lovely in the school my daughters attend. Part of our #shabtisinschools project. Thanks for having us @BrookburnP 😁

Thanks for having us! Loved hearing all about how conservators have experienced the COVID years. Lots to learn from everyone's experience.
