In 2017 Wakefield Museum had an exhibition showcasing the rise & fame of successful Wakefield rock band The Cribs. At the end of the display @thecribs donated some of the objects to our permanent collection. #PlayMW #MuseumWeek #musicinmuseums
When you love your pet so much you get it stuffed, but then you die and the poor pet is sat there looking for you . . . . Meet Rosie #NationalPetDay #MuseumTaxidermy #MuseumDog
On #NationalPetDay we have this lovely photo from the collections.
Nurse Wilkinson worked at Baghill fever hospital, and is pictured with her dog.
The photo was taken at Maud Photographic Studio in #Pontefract sometime in the 1940s.
This is Rosie. A well loved pet, enshrined forever through the skills of taxidermy. #TaxidermyWeek
It's #LoveYourPetDay! Here we have an adorable photograph taken in Maud's Yard in #Pontefract. This little girl clearly loves her pet dog, although credit goes to the photographer for managing to get both a dog AND a child to sit still enough for a good photo! 😆
This #Valentines we're giving roses a pass, and instead sharing the love for our stuffed poodle 'Rosie' 😍 because nothing says 'I love you' like a taxidermy dog. #PetsNeedLoveToo
@SMT_Collections @TheMERL @inkysyn On the subject of small pig-shaped objects, we have in our collection this absolutely tiny 'Stanhope' with 6 photographs of Castleford hidden inside!
