We know this. People work 9-5 and donโt want to spend every weekend in a museum/gallery.
Some museums have one late night a week (usually Thursday) and see a big impact.
The best way to get people to go to museums? Open them at night
Ok no one faint but guess what I just did? My first

Originally found in 2003 but now after '15 years of research, archaeologists said their "best guess" was that the tomb belonged to Seaxa, Saebert's brother.'

I'm surprised by the 'she didn't follow the rules' people. Really? I mean you really think GWR was ok to have the non-existent nurse's uniform?

Just received a very beautiful email from a small museum in a small town in Hungary that said

Love how a hashtag can still make such an impact and that is down to everyone who takes part!
8.57 pm April 3rd 18 years ago was and always will be the highlight of my life. C is a daily inspiration that I am so thankful for and proud of!
Itโs not the best of birthdays but promise to make it up after we all get through this. Love you ๐
This is good news!

#AskACurator
IS inclusive to whomever wants to answer questions. Itโs not just museums taking part & not just curators.
Directors, conservators, educators, digital team, heck cleaning staff can answer if they know the answer. Itโs a fun day.
@Jesrosmor
Whilst I *love* the spirit of the day, I'm inclined to agree with this line of questioning. Not to mention that curators are the only 'museum roles' depicted in popular culture/recognised beyond the sector.

, perhaps

is a more inclusive option for 2019?

Thank you again to everyone who took part in

2018! It was the most positive, fascinating, fun and lively day yet!
I loved how everyone got involved with answering questions from the public but also how museums were asking other museums questions. :-)

Omg so embarrassed- just offered a guy with dogs and bags change as assumed he was homeless. He was not. He was just waiting for his wife in the shop. Kill. Me. Now.
Hey Twitter - I'm in need for the biggest hug as I know my friends are. Can we leave the politics and issues behind us and get back to being people who talk about books we're reading or silly stuff or

Does anyone have any examples of great signage used in museums? Ones that are more positive or humous rather than DO NOT TOUCH or DO NOT etc? I had a pile of them but can I find them? Of course not.
I will put any shared into a google drive folder

Ok everyone just a quick note on my silence. Iโve been unwell since Saturday & in hospital since Monday & another day or two to go.
Iโll be fine and hopefully back to work after weekend.
Finally told my family so can share. Thanks to the great friends who helped me so much!
Iโm so thankful for having the best friends. The four musketeers have kept be going and then I get this from

To all museums & libraries going offline for a few days - THANK YOU for all you do year round! We all know it's not easy with all the cuts & restraints but I really value your work & what you're doing.
Have a Merry Christmas and see you in New Year!

So much annoys me about this article - it assumes every visitor to every museum does this. Stop telling people what NOT to do in museums
And what's wrong with

managers - you know your audience and community. If posting something about

is appropriate and framed sensitivity than go for it. You might get some backlash but those followers donโt deserve you.
