The art team from @UoYBorthwick & the Estates @UniOfYork are enjoying a 2 day art handling course to make sure we take the best care of the hundreds of artworks in our collection! So many fab insights and great hands-on experiences! #UoYArt

Art collection team outing to Milton Keynes, meeting the wonderful @TimSkeltonMK & David Stabler who gave us a fascinating tour of the city’s impressive sculpture trail! Lots of inspiration for our very own sculptures @UniOfYork! And we’ve got plans - watch this space!😉 #UoYArt

@chris_a_tye @Beauvale3 just saw this from Finkle Street-very low! Incredible.

@AntCoulls @CoffinWorks An old Conservation colleague - reminds me of carriage restoration - I keep trying to influence 😂 https://t.co/6bOFHcmIAq

A fascinating exhibition and I’m excited to see what the conservators bring to #HepworthResearchNetwork.

An unusual concrete sculpture by Barbara Hepworth has been painstakingly restored by Tessa Jackson ACR and her team. The work is now ready to head to Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, where it will be shown alongside Hepworth's works on other media:

Planning applications (in England) will no longer be needed for brownfield sites as part of ‘radical changes’ announced by prime minister https://t.co/QorRtigVVU - so no opportunity for scrutiny or any conditions to require recording of buildings prior to demolition?

@thinicepress #BigSteamPrint looked amazing-ideas for your next event? 😄

[Nathaniel Hepburn MBE @NTHepburn]

It's #TwitterSteamRally today so here's a flash back to the most exciting project ever @museumartcraft x @artfund's #BigSteamPrint which brought the joy of printing to thousands back in 2016.

@K_A_Carlton @Bettys @AntCoulls @BobGwynne @DrMattStroh @StuartRoss419 @MrTimDunn Last year Harrogate had a giant one in the window complete with moving chocolate bear loco crew - my neice was obsessed with the bears! 🥰

@BobGwynne Did Blatchford change his mind?

[Sophie Adamson @hejsoph]

Including a record Conservation turnout! @woodiwis @GrahamKeyCR Gutted to discover the antiques warehouse with 15mins til closing😅

[Dr Katharine Carlton @K_A_Carlton]

Had a great day on Tuesday with colleagues from across the sector @MusDevYorks @DiscoverElsecar. Great work going on with the industrial collections network. Here's the Newcomen Engine basking in the sunshine!

[Art Not Oil @ArtNotOil]

Director of the @sciencemuseum group hits "copy and paste", making the same weak defence of @BP_plc...again. An oil firm planning to expand fossil fuel production by 20% in the next 10 years has no place in a science museum. https://t.co/i83WOOHAdI #TheWholeTruth #DropBP

@heritagepaintin @steve220459 @BobGwynne I agree - what an oversight - museum and heritage sector are integral to each other and what will happen to the infrastructure-surely part of the original site? I remember seeing this https://t.co/R0nVslXp6i
