We may be late to the #GiantObjectsInMuseums fun, but we have the largest garden statue in Britain, and you can visit Neptune today when you come along to our Grotto Open Day. @VisitBristol @WeirdBristol @bbcrb @Bristol_People @Brismuseumlearn @bristolmuseums @IGersSouthGlos

#GiantObjectsInMuseums Day!! It’s actually only a few cm wide & doesn’t look like much but it’s one of the largest, if not the largest, cryolite crystal ever found!! It’s from the Mt St-Hilaire collection that was acquired during my tenure. #CoolCuriosities #MineralsAtTheMuseum

Our #GiantObjectsInMuseums candidate isn't quite as big as a yacht or a steam traction wagon. But with a 28" diameter, it sure is the biggest plastic ball that we've ever seen!

Not surprisingly, we saw many whale bones (even a🐳 kidney stone from @mysticseaport) during #giantobjectsinmuseums & #giantobjectsinlibraries day.😄 We love all the “giant things” that have been shared over the past few weeks! Thank you #museumtwitter & #librarytwitter!

Weighing as much as an adult giraffe, our pick for #GiantObjectsinMuseums day is this 16th-century tympanum. 🦒 This 3,000-lb limestone piece from Spain will be on view when our 4th floor galleries reopen in 2022. https://t.co/s2QTXS3KE2

A huge thank you to everyone that’s been sharing their large and lovely objects for #GiantObjectsInMuseums! It’s all been excellent, so do keep them coming! Here’s another from the Royal Pavilion in #Brighton - one of our many colossal chandeliers. #HistoryGlitter

Did someone say #GiantObjectsInMuseums day? It's a good thing we have high ceilings, because our 13-metre-tall Haida totem pole *just* fits! Have a go at making your own based on the story of your family in this 'Look, copy make' challenge: https://t.co/EmbIGXSye3
