Lovely day yesterday @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social awards at Young V&A. Abbey House was shortlisted in the small museums category. Had lots of playful fun around too looking at fun interpretation and spaces.

Art trolleys, a glossary and membership info, all beautifully done.
Afternoon spent at @hepworthwakefield.bsky.social. Loved the simplicity of the stringing template and that the strings aren't equidistant.

Oooh no, there's a thought! Just cinder toffee... good though!
A day in Whitby talking gothic fiction, and eating fish, chips, and ice cream (obvs not together!)

Fab @northernballet.bsky.social production of #merlin Leeds Grand Theatre tonight. I totally want a pet dragon puppet... how cute!

Shortlisting is utterly brilliant and utterly terrifying in equal measure. You get to 'meet' people who have done extraordinary things, but you want to consider everyone without bias and find the person who will thrive in the role. Noticed more AI applications.

Great morning at our whole staff team big morning Leeds City Museum. We built weird, wonderful, and thoughtful sustainable buildings and spaces with LEGO, painted mindfully with watercolours, talked all things fundraising....

Utterly captivating restoration-conservation of Landmark Trust Calverley Old Hall. Beautiful ways of mixing the old & modern together so you can read the spaces whilst giving the building new life. Fiendishly jealous of the gorgeous kitchen!!

We have a new, shiny Victorian police cell at Abbey House Museum just waiting for the objects to complete the police station! You'll soon be able to (pretend to) lock up your friends and family!

Many thanks to ACE Wrought Iron Leeds for making it happen!

Welcome to the Wild was full of gorgeous artist-made interactivity... embroidered dressing up capes and masks, and cabinets you could get in, and interesting takes on collections, all making a serious point about our impact on the world in a playful, empathetic way.
Really enjoyed Cornwall Museum today. The 80s exhibition had us (and other visitors) reminiscing...
