We want to know from our #MuseumBuddy @BradfordMuseums, who’s the #BestDressed person from your collection? We’ve picked this picture postcard of a man in a traditional jester outfit, circa 1900. He might also have the best smile we’ve ever seen!
This technical drawing came to us from the factory of Frederick Savage, and shows the design plans for one of his most famous products - a carousel galloper #TechnologyMW #NationalDrawingDay
Today is @WorldLaughterDay! Professional jesters are first mentioned in Ancient Greek texts.This colour postcard of 'Touchstone' the Jester in traditional costume from around 1900.
Today we will be sharing some historic jokes. Please share your favourites.
Happy #EasterSunday to all of our followers who are celebrating today 🐣
These black and white press photos of a dog (1954) and a cat (c.1900) are some of our team's favourites. We would love to see pictures of your pets in the replies below! #PetDay ⬇️🐱🐶
This teddy was inspired by our oil painting 'The Colours of Old England he nail'd to the Mast', created by local artist Henry Baines in August 1864. We would love to see your interpretations! #StayAtHome #TeddyBearHunt
These sepia photographs show medical staff (likely from Extons Road Workhouse) around 1890 - before we were fortunate enough to have a National Health Service. Thank you to all front line workers, past and present. #ThankYouNHS #ClapForTheNHS #ClapForCarers
Today is Draw a Bird Day!
We suspect our museum curator in 1911 Mr Page pictured here would have joined in. We also share a 2020 drawing by Aurelia aged 5 of a blue tit. #DrawABirdDay #DABDay https://t.co/GfsRO8tmLr
