#Museum30 Day 25: In 1820, Charles Waterton built a 9 foot high wall around 3 miles of Walton Hall, turning the area into the world's first wildfowl and nature reserve. Thus he was considered to be one of the world's first environmentalists! #BeMoreWaterton #environment
@sophiec_expo Apologies . . . . what if all this rain was actually snow? We're walking in the air, la la la la la lahhh, la lahhhhhhh 🎶🎵🎵🎶
#Museum30 Here we are, the final clue! Clue No. 4:
I was an explorer, a conservationist, and a naturalist. Some of my Collection is on display at Wakefield Museum. The collection includes a cayman, much like the one depicted in this watercolour painting of me! 👇🏻👇🏻#WhoAmI?
Have we ever mentioned Charles Waterton? Incase you didn't know he is thought to have created the world's 1st nature reserve at his home in Walton! #WorldAnimalDay @Wild_Yorkshire #BeMoreWaterton
Dear museum friends,
If you were to write a book that included 5 objects from your collections, what would they be? Title of your book as well please 📚 #NationalReadABookDay
@MD_Class3 @MillDamSchool We thought @MD_Esio might appreciate this 🐢😉

We had a lovely day with @Fitz_Pri_School visiting us at #Wakefield Museum today. From Anglo Saxon villagers to the life and adventures of Charles Waterton all in one day!
In a few weeks our museum in #Pontefract will reopen after gallery & display redevelopments. Here is how the museum looked a few years ago and after the first stage changes. Visit us later in May to see the new exhibition space for yourself #differenceMW
