Stunning! 🤩 Well worth a watch! Excellently described by Valerie Wilson. 👏

Loving the upstairs of Drumnahunshin Farmhouse Ulster Folk Museum being open again. The patterns and colours of the bedcovers selected by Valerie Wilson are just beautiful! 😍


Exciting to see this feathered, furry and prickly bunch earlier this week being prepared for a future exhibition Ulster American Folk Park!


It may have been a rainy day Ulster American Folk Park but it didn't dampen the festive mood! The geese wanted to follow us into the Mellon Homestead but the half door helped to keep them outside!


Researching Drumnahunshin Farmhouse Ulster Folk Museum today. Lovely to hear the donor of the house speaking about her memories of visiting it as a child and her reasons for donating it courtesy of RTÉ Archives. ♥️ rte.ie/archives/2016/…

Love these photos of Christmas Eve in #Belfast from 1984! ❤️ From the Ulster Folk Museum collection. View more Christmas themed collections here: collections.nationalmuseumsni.org/pro504965


Lots of inspiration Young V&A and The Story Museum for an upcoming temporary exhibition Ulster American Folk Park!

Delighted to receive a couple of copies of Plastiquarian in the post from Plastics Historical Society, containing an article I wrote about the volunteer project Ulster Folk Museum to research the history of Courtaulds in Carrickfergus, supported by The Courtauld. 👚


The Meeting Street Houses Ulster Folk Museum are scrubbing up well in advance of my Homes in Focus talk on Saturday! 👞🚲🚂 Tickets still available!


"Loved hearing how life was for the people living on the street." ❤️ It was lovely to meet lots of people with a connection to the Meeting Street Houses Ulster Folk Museum at today's Homes in Focus talk. 🏘️


Men's names may well be above the doors of these premises but it is the women who helped to run them and/or their households that I'll be focusing on at the Womenfolk event Ulster Folk Museum on Saturday 8th March. Catch my tours at 12pm and 2pm!


Had a lovely day participating in the Womenfolk event Ulster Folk Museum on International Women's Day. 🙂
