I’m often asked what my favourite find it, well here it is, a 16th century child’s shoe. What I love are the creases, they are as personal as fingerprints and a physical connection to its original owner

@TheJohnRylands @OfficialUoM Wow, how exciting. We have a family display about #Tutankhamun's #sandals at the moment. We only have replicas unfortunately but doing the research for it was fascinating and our volunteers had fun making a papier mache sarcophagus!

Lots of dragon hunters in the Museum today. Alex and his mum even brought Toothless to visit. Our Here Be Dragons activities are on throughout the Easter holidays. See a Seadragon from Street, make a dragon shoe and follow the dragon trail and collect a dragon's egg at the end.
