Nothing quite as appealing as a museum with one wry eye on itself. Like here in the Drinking Gallery (mugs, pitchers etc) Rijksmuseum #Amsterdam

A question from a customer today…why don’t you say the word “staff”? It’s simple. At Timpson we believe everyone is equally important and the word “staff” implies some people are more important than others. Instead we use the word “colleague”.

Great news for the fabulous Thackray Museum of Medicine. We love working with them. And particularly pleased to see some of this will go towards signage - often the only thing a visitor reads. #LanguageIsAnAccessIssue #WordsMatter

How would you deal with this in your gallery? Two chairs inviting us to sit - which we’re not allowed to sit on. The challenges of displaying contemporary art made clear at Hayward Gallery Southbank Centre new exhibition When Form Comes Alive. What would you do?

Really interesting discussion about how to interpret rematriated objects. ‘Return the Stolen Artifact, But Keep the Museum Label’ hyperallergic.com/870144/return-…

Oh the beautiful places we get to wander in and work at. This week Quarry Bank Mill National Trust And our own Rebecca Mileham wrote some of the gallery interpretation. So doubly lucky.

Such a powerful exhibition about and by David Harewood as part of Harewood House Trust Missing Portraits exhibition. Firm unfaltering steps towards addressing the imbalance and injustices in our historic homes. An example to all of them.

Saw the British Museum #Legion exhibition on Saturday and recognised the illustration work of the wonderful Rosey Taylor! Plus design by Matt Bigg. Enjoyed it very much, although it's certainly a sobering theme.

Today’s workplace the stunning Diocese of Leicester as it looked last night. Can’t wait to write in and about it today. Our cathedrals contain wonderful stories beneath those spires.

Rush to see the David Harewood exhibition Harewood House Trust before it closes next week. Exemplary work on decolonising museums and recognising the legacy of slavery in our historic homes. Powerful introductory panel for visitors to contextualise all glory they see.

From pine cones to pot noodles, via a wooden cross. The things participants bring to our workshops to write labels about is fabulous. Here Diocese of Leicester Cathedral particularly so #JoyOfWriting #labels

The new ⁦Showtown⁩ museum in #Blackpool is flush with toilet humour. An immersive seaside romp through circus, magic, and the world famous illuminations. Not a history, but often hysterical. Opens Friday ⁦VisitBlackpool⁩ ⁦Blackpool Council

Can you see it? Special concealed mini pocket sewn in to magician Romany’s costume to hold her lighter Showtown . Sadly no interpretation to point that out. If your object has a hidden story - tell it!

A plastic dinosaur protected by fake plastic plants, a barrier and a Do Not Touch notice hung around its neck. Oh - and next door to the recycling bin. Dear Dynamic Earth you can do better than that. #recycleTheDinosaur #RecyclePlasticPlants
