I really don't know how some signage writers sleep well at night.

Just posted a photo @ The Coffin Works instagram.com/p/Cj-c2aOIs7Y/… – at Birmingham, England

Love it when a historic space is left as if the people just walked out - like this coffin parts factory in Birmingham. Don't touch anything on Joyce's desk! @ The Coffin Works instagram.com/p/Cj-cUbGIjjy/… – at Birmingham, England

'This is a safe space to be who you are.' Unless you're in any of the paintings - Defoe (in pillary), Nelson (dying) or the Marquis of Montrose (about to be executed). @salford_museum instagram.com/p/CiNVV8hoVWg/…

These family labels, low down and accessible to little visitors, pick out things from the paintings, have a link to an online video story and a bit of sign language vocab in @SalfordMuseum. #art #ArtGallery #FamilyLearning #HeritageInterpretation #KidsInMuseums

Smaller than a playing card and more expensive than a mansion, this tiny manuscript offers an insight into the mind of the 13-year-old charlotte Brontë in 1829. 'A Book Of Ryhmes' has been acquired by the Brontë Parsonage Museum, West Yorkshire. #ObjectOfTheWeek #museum

When you have lines and light like this (at National Gallery, Prague) who even cares about the art?

We were guinea pigs for the new guided tour experience at Pardubice Castle on the #ICOMPrague2022 tour, seeing behind the scenes before it opens to visitors next month. @ Pardubice instagram.com/p/ChuxWs9IZE4/… – at Pardubice, Czech Republic

Infographic, biography and a little art activity all in one at the Antonin Dvorak Museum, Prague #HeritageInterpretation – at Prague, Czech Republic

Permission to enjoy looking at art in @DOXPrague. Thanks for having us visit today from #ICOMPrague2022 – at Prague, Czech Republic

Cubist museum. Cubist interpretation. I love it when museums write (in this case project) on the floor. – at Prague, Czech Republic

Well done #ICOMPrague2022 for agreeing the new definition of a museum. The old one talked about how museums COMMUNICATE but the new one says that we INTERPRET. Hurray for #HeritageInterpretation @AHI_Social – at Prague, Czech Republic

Posing for a picture with the #ICOMPrague2022 cat is the ONLY way to prove you were there. – at Prague, Czech Republic

When you go to an international conference and tell people you work in interpretation, their first question is 'what languages?' Sadly, I'm not a translator. #HeritageInterpretation – at Prague, Czech Republic

The Czechia post office made ICOM its own stamp for the conference. You're going to see a lot of that cat this week. #ObjectOfTheWeek #ICOMPrague2022 Image - white postage stamp with yellow figure, red cat, blue horn and ICOM logo – at Prague, Czech Republic

John Wilkes The ugliest man in Britain, or so they said. @PHMMcr #HeritageInterpretation #MuseumText – at Manchester, England

Downloaded the app for ICOM conference next week. Excitedly scrolling through the programme. See you there?? – at Manchester, England

Do you TRUST museums? How about ones funded by the government? Do you want to tell DCMS about it? Consultation open here until 15.09.22 committees.parliament.uk/wor…
