Very lucky to visit the amazing #luminarium by @ArchitectsofAir today. Beautiful, peaceful caverns of light - and an occasional recollection of the 80s film Inner Space! @bristol_light Festival

Glorious day in Sea Mills today with @SeaMills100 for the Found it!event. Loads of local history treasure, from wallpaper and grain sacks to a WWI lead soldier. Fantastic phone box museum too!

A little bit of time travel back to Tudor Bristol... #BristolWaites rehearsing for their performances in the beautiful Great Oak Room @RedLodgeMuseum today

One of the great things about historic houses! These beautiful keys all live at the Georgian House Museum, opening enticing rooms like the butler's pantry... @HouseGeorgian #BehindtheScenes

[Catherine Lind @Mid20th]

Excited to finally see the #MuseumOfTheMoon by @lukejerram, set off by the soaring architecture of @BristolCathedra Such an extraordinarily beautiful pairing and amazing how restful it feels, even when weekend busy!

[Catherine Lind @Mid20th]

The beautiful bust of #Antinous getting a slightly nerve-racking clean today @BlaiseMuseum, ready for re-opening. Antinous has been resident at Blaise for around 200 years, one of many fashionable, classical additions made by past owner John Scandrett Harford II

What the mannequins get up to @BlaiseMuseum when the museum is closed - always a bit freaky, even when I'm expecting to see them! #behindthescenes
