The Terry Higgins Memorial Quilt will go on public display for the first time at @SheffMuseums.
โThe quilt is a testimony to the man and the distance we have travelled,โ said our Chief Executive, @RichardAngell.
What a way to keep Terryโs legacy going.

๐ As well as progress on the field for all of our teams, it has been an outstanding 2023 for @Eagles_Found and the Eagles Heritage Project.
One of the highlights was undoubtedly the opening of own showcase at @SheffMuseums' Weston Park.

Can you help? We're saddened to announce a break-in at Kelham Island Museum and would be hugely grateful for any information that could help @syptweetrecover the 12 items that were taken.
You can find full info and contact details here: sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/newsโฆ
ALT Weโre really sad to share that Kelham Island Museum suffered a break-in at the weekend which saw the theft of 12 items relating to the cityโs metalworking history. The objects, which include items from Sheffield Assay Office, the Ken Hawley Collection Trust and lenders to their collection, are an irreplaceable testament to the skill and excellence that has earned Sheffield makers a global reputation. Their historical significance is far greater than any financial value they hold. Some of these items are likely to find their way onto the market and are very distinctive โ weโd be hugely grateful if you, our Twitter friends, could keep a look out and contact South Yorkshire Police if you have any information that might help their investigation. You can find contact details and images of the objects in the link above.

Happy Easter! This cute fluffy bunny in our collection dates from the 1940s and was used by two little girls, Margaret and Dorothy. It had a rather important job.
Can you guess what it was used for?
