The museum of forward planning. A vision you couldn’t see, for a future you couldn’t believe. Doing more, with less, more often.

As we approach our target of 900 followers here, we pause to remind ourselves that it’s totally arbitrary.

We’ve launched our new exhibition for Easter weekend!
Produced using degenerative AI instead of our (now downsized) human team, you’ll experience a large number of things that ‘aren’t quite right but you can’t put your finger on it’
Please bring your own cup for coffee. #Museums

Please bring a torch if you’re visiting this Easter.
We’ve used all available power to create AI illustrations of items that aren’t real but which would look cool in the gift shop.

Just a reminder to all visitors.
We know we are actually handing out chocolate eggs in our gallery spaces.
But let’s be VERY CLEAR - you may not eat the chocolate eggs in our spaces.
Think of it as a test.
And of yourselves as failures

Easter activities are now under way!
As always this is a crucial period for us as performance over the holiday will irrationally and completely stuff the rest of the budgets.

Why not bring along a Mother or a Mum or anyone that fulfils that role for you in your life to the #Museum today?
Drop them off in one of our dull but worthy exhibition areas and they can have a nice nap.
Then invest in an expensive cake - Halloween themed and may take time to defrost.

This weekend our retro cafe will be serving everything grilled using our George Foreman Grill.
Before there were air fryers - this was how we lived.

Very excited to be launching a new ticketing system this Good Friday!
We will also be launching brand new exhibitions, a new scanning system and an AI driven rota system.
All part of the busiest weekend of the year.

Not in ALVA’s visitor figure reports again. They’re obsessed with real, actual museums.

If you are planning a visit tomorrow please delay until after 1st April.
We have reached our visitor targets, any further numbers will merely raise expectations for next year.

We’ve unexpectedly had to pull this scheme.
The budget was redirected to a vanity project elsewhere at short notice

Additional opportunities will be available at very short notice, random hours and once you’ve purchased your tickets contracts may / will change.
📢New Immersive Experience 📢
Be duty manager for a day!
For just £250 a ticket we will
- provide you with very limited training
- issue a set of keys (some of which won’t open anything!)
- train you to use a radio with patchy coverage.
- provide you with insufficient staffing
