Romans, Archaeology, Museums, Typos. We're not a villa and we don't do Latin.
😭Sad news😭 The authorities have finally caught up with us so this will be our last post on BlueSky. It's been a blast and we love you all. Especially our BFF @merchantshallyork.org 🥰🥰 Keep up with the posting, everyone. Together you can conquer the scourge of work-based productivity...

We've decided we have too much money, so THIS SATURDAY (2nd May) you can visit for just FIVE QUID and kids go free! 🤩🤩. We're even laying on music, craft stalls, refreshments and that. Oh! Oh! And there's going to be a bouncy castle!! What's not to love??! 😍🏰
A brilliant afternoon spent at the always excellent Fishbourne @romanpalace.bsky.social with #CuratorRob Symmons Although with the constant reminder of what can never (ever) be mine.... #HypocaustGate
We would like to know what was going through the mind of the person who, instead of putting a label on this box, put a label on this box saying that it needs a label... 🧐
Yesterday was International Flamingo Day, but for this little guy it may as well have been a lifetime ago. 🧑🍳🍴🤤 #MosaicMonday
It's a little known fact that all curators are related. Indeed, #CuratorScott and #CuratorRob are cousins. Very, very distant cousins. 🤔🧬
Churchill County Museum@churchillcomuse.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt’s Preservation Week! Ever wonder what happens to objects not currently on display?

Imagine waking up to this every day. 😍😍 #SundayHuxley
@maryrosemuseum.bsky.social haven't posted for 12 days. We're worried they've sunk. Again. 😬
We lent the Learning Team this book and for some reason when they returned it, it was wrapped in cling film. 🤔

Volunteer Bethany was in yesterday and made archive boxes... a LOT of archive boxes...
It’s St George’s Day! 🐉 🏴 Seems apt to share our most popular post on bluesky. Although we have been told that the dragon in question is actually a wyvern. 😬
Merchant Adventurers’ Hall@merchantshallyork.org · 4mo agoWe’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.
Do you want to see our impression of a dog?
Why isn't Margate's Crab Museum on Bluesky? We need answers. 🦀

Huxley's too old and stiff to get as far as the bluebell woods these days, so here's a pic of him when he wasn't. #SundayHuxley
Yesterday's ##archive30 was #archivestorage. We're not as neat as the big guns ( @mrcwarwick.bsky.social & @romanpalace.bsky.social ) but we try our best!
Old, messy, but ours. We're incredibly jealous.
Fishbourne Roman Palace@romanpalace.bsky.social · 4mo agoWe know we're biased, but ours are better. 😎
We may be tiny but we are mighty! (And it smells like old books 🥰)

Since everyone's sharing pics of their archives ATM... We visited the mighty Archaeological Resource Centre in Northamptonshire this week and saw their amazing archives, which are overseen by Ben: a slightly underripe #CuratorRob.
We need to do a new video now it's full, but for now you'll just need to marvel over this. 🤩 bsky.app/profile/roys...
Royston Museum@roystonmuseum.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat's that we hear you say? How's the Collections Store installation going? Well.... it's finished! 🎉 Over the next four weeks, we'll be rehoming our collection in the stores ready to reopen for February half term.
Conference alert! It's free and it's hybrid, so you have no excuses no to be there.
