Ex-exhibit, IT trained, behind the scenes museum tweeter, leader of a brutal rebellion. (All views my own)

Sorry I've been quiet for the last few days folks.
When you're as old as me, you learn that history eventually repeats itself. So right now it's time for me to make like AD61 and mysteriously disappear again!
I hope that you all enjoyed my brief glimpse into museum life.

Just to clarify, these were never the views/opinions of Ipswich Borough Council or Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service. If you want to learn more about Ipswich Museums, check out their official webpage or Twitter.
Thanks for following me, maybe see you in another 1,900 years!

Come to Ipswich Museum tomorrow and meet my friend BEAGNOTH the ANGLO SAXON!
He'd love to tell you all about what this country was like after those horrible Romans left. He's got facts, stories and handling objects. Wæs þu hæl!

@hammijam @GreenGeology I’m not 100% sure, but I’ll ask her and say hi from you! 🙂

It's my first ever #FossilFriday!
This is me and curator Kate Riddington in Ipswich Museum with a Chirotherium - aka "The Hand-Beast". This one was left behind in a quarry in Storeton by Richard Owen, the man who coined the name "Dinosaur"!

@PaulRidd Boudica’s back, tell a friend! 😎

[Boudica @ipswichboudica]

"Horrific"?! Good job I attended those anger management classes...
RT @PaulRidd Can anyone based in Ipswich confirm whether the local museum still has that horrific Boudicca wax work up? Haunted my childhood.

[Boudica @ipswichboudica]

#MayTheFourthBeWithYou ! Technically this is historical - it did all happen "a long time ago".

Museum Assistant @calebhowgego has been restoring and re-packing some of the exclusive handling collection for the Ancient Egyptian school sessions!
He also writes some very interesting books and blogs, check them out at this website: https://t.co/IqQ6NyDxFN

@ConservationBob Thanks for having me! Hopefully I can come and help with some more conservation soon!

[Boudica @ipswichboudica]

What horrible weather! But rain or shine there's alway things worth coming in to see and do at #IpswichMuseum. Today I helped @ConservationBob consolidate this wasps nest! As you can see by my face, I'm a bit scared of wasps, but I knew it'd all be ok in Bob's capable hands.

[Boudica @ipswichboudica]

Oops, that should of course be “always”. This isn’t my first language to be fair.

For all the facebookers out there... To make things easier I've changed my Facebook profile to a page https://t.co/l8v4rBXGi8 so all you have to do is "like" me. And everyone likes me, right?

It’s also turning into a beautiful #MayDay! Great weather for exploring #ChristchurchPark and #ChristchurchMansion

[Boudica @ipswichboudica]

It's #LeiDay!
The world cultures gallery at Ipswich Museum is a great place to explore objects from the Pacific and many other parts of the world.
