The Gizmo is an effects device for guitars to make the strings vibrate, creating synthesizer-like sounds. Invented in 1969 and patented by the English rock musicians Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in 1975, when they were members of @10ccWorld. #MuseumWeek #EurekaMW @StrawberryNorth

Stockport Museum's family gallery was designed to help imaginations run wild: a space where anything is possible and the objects on display inspire your own storytelling. Here is part of the Toys case where Batman is styling Sindy's hair. #MuseumWeek #OnceuponAtimeMW @MuseumWeek

Have you been cycling over #BikeWeek? #Stockport Museums have some fantastic cycling objects and stories that convey how lifechanging cycling can be. We are proud custodians of the helmet Alan Newton wore when he won bronze in the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games. #MuseumsUnlocked

@SMBC_Museums I’ve taken up fish-keeping in the last year - so relaxing watching them go about their business!

'River Mersey and Viaducts' by Michael D Conway 1930. Conway worked full-time as a mill worker in Stockport. In his book 'Half Timer' he described the town as “an area smothered by glowering gasometers and many storeyed cotton mills.” #WorldArtDay #OnlineArtExchange @artukdotorg
