Today marks 71 years since the death of Welsh poet #DylanThomas in New York at the tragically young age of 39. We're thoroughly enjoying being part of the project with @cofgar_wales to reimagine interpretation at his final home @DTBoathouse, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.

We're working with Plas Gunter Mansion, Abergavenny on their @HeritageFundCYM project to restore the building & develop new interpretation/activities. We'd love to hear your thoughts via the survey below. surveymonkey.com/r/F97B5W8 (Cymraeg) surveymonkey.com/r/2Q73KJ9 (English)

Rather appropriately for #NationalPoetryDay Ruth has been at the Dylan Thomas Boathouse with the @cofgar_wales team. She was asked to recite Michael Rosen's 'No Breathing in Class' (also known as 'Strict').

The project was also supported by @Aimuseums and the Sloane Lab.

Jennifer attended the emotive and thought-provoking Creating a Culture of Care workshop @CeredigionMus on Monday. A wonderful experience and great to connect with the other participants. Part of the 'For the Curious and Interested' exhibition in partnership with @britishmuseum

The Digital Strategy Template for Museums | GOV.WALES we produced for Welsh Government is now live in both Welsh and English on the @WGCulture website. An accessible guide to support you in writing your organisation's Digital Strategy.

Jennifer and Ellie had a great consultation session with young people in Tywyn yesterday for the @TalyllynRailway @HeritageFundCYM project. Naturally, it would have been rude not to spend some time enjoying watching the locos carrying visitors up and down the line on a sunny day.

Not a bad spot for an evaluation workshop! Ruth and Jennifer spent a lovely afternoon @Ness_Gardens yesterday with members of the @chesterzoo team chatting about their brilliant @HeritageFundUK project Networks for Nature.

Elevenses starts in 1 hour! Today we are hearing how to start to design exhibitions with Ruth McKew from @HeadlandDesign. Elevenses is an informal session for any museum professionals, just click on the Teams Meeting in the link at 11am>> museumdevelopmentnorth.org.uk/event/elevense…

Stuart and Derek enjoyed the opening of the new look Mold Museum on Monday. It's always great to see our interpretive designs and hard work come to life. This was a great collaboration with the museum team too! Head down there to take a look at the brilliant new displays... pic.twitter.com/irvh16dgoj

Derek has been chatting to our work experience students about graphic design in the heritage sector today, and showing them around the Roman gallery we designed for Grosvenor Museum @cwacmuseums. @BishopHeberHS @TheQueensSchool .

In living history heaven here @BCLivingMuseum for @Aimuseums #AIMConference2024!

We're here at #AIMConference2024 @BCLivingMuseum. Having a great time so far and hearing lots of inspiring things. Come say 'hello' if you're here too... 👋🏻

This is St Anthony's Church just across an inlet from St Mawes, Cornwall. A beautiful building and cared for by @TheCCT. A peaceful place to pause (and possibly pray to St Anthony to help you find lost items, if so inclined). pic.twitter.com/Jg6Sb2lmVQ

We've had a great day at the official opening of @AngleseyColumn. The sun shone and the Hussars were looking wonderful. Brilliant to work on this amazing @HeritageFundCYM project from R1 application all the way through to installation and opening.

A brilliant day @LlangollenRail on Saturday hearing from visitors about their past and present experiences of the site and chatting with staff and volunteers about the exciting future of the railway. Such a beautiful setting too and a great way to spend a sunny late spring day.

An inspiring day spending time with the Tracksiders @TalyllynRailway. The team has just won an award for this innovative volunteer programme.

Ruth and Jennifer had a brilliant morning with the team @chesterzoo discussing an amazing @HeritageFundNOR project we're working on with them. Watch this space... 👀🌿🦋🐝🌳🪻

Ruth and Jennifer enjoyed a lovely morning @LlangollenRail on Friday talking all things heritage railways and visitor experience with the great team there. Llangollen looking at its loveliest in the sunshine.

Denbigh Museum's survey is still open. We'd love to hear your thoughts on proposals for a move to the town's Buttermarket, so you can be part of shaping the project. Link to the survey in the post below.
