Museum Oops

A safe space for Museum professionals to share #MuseumOops and what they learned from them. Brain child of @museumgirlldn

The lovely @RebeccaA_MA has written about why she thinks #MuseumOops is so important for early (and mid- and late- ) career Museum people. We're inclined to agree! https://t.co/VmXoUMb8Nf

All today we have @PietaGreaves from @drakonheritage working on a couple of ceramic plates, which were damaged last year due to my poor handling. I was gutted at the time, I’m so pleased she’s helping to correct my mistake!

When you forget to update your label list before sending it to the printers... notice that the title is in red to catch our eye and remind us 🤦🏻‍♀️ So sorry, Midwife Panel! #MuseumOops @Museum_Oops @newlanarkwhs

A fab small blog post looking at why your mates might not get what you do, and some twitter hash tags to help find people who will!

@museumhour The one thing I always want to know more about is which switch does what... working at older sites things are often creatively wired meaning switches can often turn off more than intended... #museumhour #museumoops

When you realise (after congratulating yourself) that the 300+ records that you 'linked' to the object thesaurus did not in fact link, but just copied the term across. WHY #museumdocumentation #registrarlife #museumoops #tooearly

Hey, you magnificent people working in heritage and arts over the Bank Holiday.

You're going to be helping people create some great memories, and have meaningful experiences.

And you'll want to slap some of those people, but you'll meet some gems too.
