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

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

Posing for a picture with the #ICOMPrague2022 cat is the ONLY way to prove you were there.

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

Cubist museum. Cubist interpretation. I love it when museums write (in this case project) on the floor.

Energising experience seeing Great Southern Land National Museum of Australia , particularly loved the way the displays expressed interconnectedness, took a more-than-human approach and left generous space for audiences to think.

Permission to enjoy looking at art in DOX. Thanks for having us visit today from #ICOMPrague2022

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

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/…

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

Hiya! I am doing a bit of research on (UK) queer museum cataloguing. Loads of amazing queering work has been happening, but my sense is that this hardly ever goes into cataloguing processes. I've put a short survey together & would love your thoughts 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ leeds.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/queer-museum-c…

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

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 Salford Museum & Art Gallery. #art #ArtGallery #FamilyLearning #HeritageInterpretation #KidsInMuseums

'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/…

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/…

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

"An argument builds through the book that Manchester did not simply launch itself as an industrial city – just as nobody wakes up and thinks ‘let’s start an industrial revolution today’." Steve Slack reads The Origins of Manchester by Alan Kidd. northernsoul.me.uk/origins-manche… #history
