Did you know that vibrations and gravity can change the dioramas in the Museum Galleries? These dioramas are cared for by our Conservation team, who have a variety of challenges in their up-keep and must constantly adapt to find solutions to issues that arise! Learn about some of the work of a conservator in this video with Assistant Conservator Loren. Learn more about diorama conservation in Loren's recent blog post, here: https://ow.ly/Ktsw50QtkXa

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. ATTN NASHVILLIANS WHO WANT TO ACTIVELY SHAPE OUR FUTURE… are you also controlling the past?? Are you controlling your present?? If you haven’t already signed up, this is an incredibly powerful way to take this moment in time to directly impact the way we move in the future… to combat the censorship and revisionist history some other (ahem) groups are pushing. Historians know that it’s not just about interrogating the voices we do hear, but also interrogating the cause of absent voices. And asking “If the voice were present, what would it say? How would it impact the story that’s being told?” Too much of history education is already reduced to excerpts and quotes taken out of context, and truly voices are at real risk of erasure. Come hear their stories before they’re lost to history so that we can impact a more thoughtful, inclusive future. Also Tamyra Gordon MSEd is just really fantastic and you should support her work. 💥

You should have a policy on cataloguing. This could either be a standalone document or part of a wider collections management policy. Either way, in deciding your policy you will need to consider this question: 'For new accessions, what is your timeframe for creating the target 'basic' catalogue record?' 🔗 https://buff.ly/3SHILoW #MuseumDocumentation #PrimaryProcedures #Museums

This is what I learned from several courses at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester #heritage and its concepts were constructed by the power or the majority. #museum is one of the powers. People believe that a museum is a valid knowledge institution. Hence, whatever the museum puts on display is a trustworthy statement. Museum play a significant role in declaring both tangible & intangible heritage. Thus, it is essential for a museum to have experts and professionals who are related to the museum, collections, and its mission. Museum needs to act ethically and professionally as public trust the institution as a knowledge centre. https://lnkd.in/gnfeDB-a

English Coach Helping Heritage Professionals to Improve Their Job Performance 🏆 Advance Your English Communication Skills in Less than 12 Weeks ⏱️ 20 years Museum Experience 🏛️ TEFL Qualified 🧑🏫 DM To Learn More 📩
🗣 I used to love giving lunchtime talks during my time as Curator of Decorative Art! It often gave me a chance to focus on one area of the collections, or even, just one object. 🔎 As Peter Robinson has said here, it's also important for curators to be given the chance to do in-depth research, and present their findings to a variety of audiences. 😨 It may sound daunting to talk about just one thing for up to a whole hour, though. What on earth can you find to say for that long, about a single item?! Actually, once you get going, you'll be amazed at what you can come up with. Here are just a few examples: 👉 How was it made? People love to hear about the skills and techniques used to produce things. If you can show them a few tools, or even a short video - even better! 👉 Where did the materials come from? Is this made locally or do some parts come from the other side of the world? What does this tell you about trade at the time? Do you have a sample of the material visitors can touch? 👉 Who used it? Was it for everyone, or just a select few? How much (in real terms, like a weekly wage) would it have cost? 👉 How did it come into the museum? Is there an exciting or strange story there? ⛏ These are just a few object stories that you can uncover, just get digging, open up your imagination and there'll be no stopping you! ✍️ Do you have a favourite object you could talk about for hours? Share it in the comments! 👋 Need help with interpreting objects in English? Let’s connect and have a conversation. Don’t forget to follow me and ring the bell 🔔 on the profile to catch all my posts. 🏛 I help heritage professionals improve their communication skills and confidence 👩🏫 #curator #interpretation #museumeducation #heapoffacts #communicationcoach
My first Lunch Time Curator talk focus’ on one of our oldest and most enigmatic objects. One that despite its importance has never actually been accessioned into the collections (something i aim to correct). As time has gone on I’ve seen a loss of specialist knowledge and subject specialist curators in museums, which is a very worrying trend. It’s a credit to Heritage Doncaster and the City of Doncaster Council that in a recent restructure it chose to maintain those specialist curatorial roles it still had. Though it is sad that there are collections for which we don’t have curators, notably Natural History. Without subject specialist curators collections risk becoming fossilised and museums risk, over time engaging the public, with out of date and even inaccurate interpretation and information. The Curator Talks and Lunchtime Talks provide a reason for me to undertake important collections research and provide an outlet for it. Long may it continue and grow. The public appetite for these curator led engagements is demonstrable, even though we’re not yet a year into having begun them. Let’s hope the appetite for them grows.
