So pleased and proud of this - our very first event Quiet Hour @BrooklandsMuseu - thanks are very much down to young Wilfred who has shown you really can make a difference - what an inspiration!

[Brooklands Museum @BrooklandsMuseu]

Today Wilfred received a special certificate for helping us set up our quiet hour Emergency Services Day!

Wilfred wanted to help other people who don’t like loud noises, to enjoy the day.

We had lots of families enjoy this new quiet hour!

Thanking my lucky stars I took the strategic decision to purchase some “emergency cashews” to sustain me. 6 hours and counting on journey home with train shenanigans heading back London way - good luck to those in the same boat! #AIMConference2022

[Alex Patterson @paternosta]

Thank you @Aimuseums team for organising a fab conference and @PortSunlight for hosting at your wonderful site. Was great to be back in person and catch up with lots of lovely independent museum folk - I’m definitely re-energised and ready to get cracking again!#AIMConference2022

[Alex Patterson @paternosta]

Hats off to Jenny Cousins and the team @FoodMuseumUK on their incredible journey. Amazing insights on how to make a collection, site and intangible heritage alive, linking back to nature and relevant to the next generation - and what a great logo! #AIMConference2022

We had a sneak peak and a drive of the Baby Bugatti II from the talented people of @thelittlecar_co today on the Finishing Straight @BrooklandsMuseu. So much fun! Just to confirm our very own @andylewis2k hasn’t had a growth spurt! #ElectricVehicles #secretsofthetransportmuseum

[Alex Patterson @paternosta]

The most powerful way to reflect on the past is through the words of those who experienced it. The films made by @squeakypedal really make you think about what the bombing raid on Brooklands was like and what people went through. #secretsofthetransportmuseum @SecretsMuseum

[Brooklands Museum @BrooklandsMuseu]

A glimpse of the fantastic videos made for us by @squeakypedal using the voices of those who experienced the bombing first hand. See some of them here
