The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote.
Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it.
Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024

The empty plinth is empty no more @bristolmuseum. Peggy the Temnodontosaurus is now in residence! The original fossil this replica is based on can be seen in a new display opening tomorrow, 13th Jan. We are very fond of her already 🥰

A very hot morning spent weeding the Roman hypocaust at Kings Weston Roman Villa. The mosaics are very clean now too!

Pick up a key from Blaise Museum, books a school session or join us on one of our open days and see for yourself.

After cleaning, losses needed to be filled and then retouched to blend the repairs. Here's an action shot in our studio @bristolmuseum 😀
