I wrote a little blog about the success of #CuratorBattle and the impact it has had on both audiences and organisations. Also it has some pretty cool infographics made by @jackmattison_ 👏 > yorkmuseumstrust.org.uk/blog/the-impac…

What's your seaside story? Amber Butchart loves a swim in the Grade II listed Walpole Bay tidal pool in Margate. 🏊‍♀️ This summer, we’d love to see your seaside photos and memories added to our website. #MissingPiecesProject

Some streets in Covent Garden are still lit by gas. 🌟 There are around 1,300 working gas lamps left in the capital. Responding to concern about their future from @LondonGasketeer and @thevicsoc , more than 50 gas lamps in Westminster have been listed in 2024.

Join us in exploring the last gas-lit cinema in England (and maybe even the world!) 📽️ @HydeParkPH was built in 1914 and is an iconic Grade II listed cinema in Leeds. Have you visited?

Join historian Holly Cruise at Taunton Castle to explore the story of 'the female husband'. In the 18th century, Charles Hamilton, who was born Mary, married Mary Price. Months later, Price reported Hamilton, claiming she had been deceived into marrying a woman. #WeAreHistoric

We've got a challenge for you! See if you can spot the *cracking* restoration work on this Bellarmine jug. It's really tiny so you'll have to look closely... 👀
