#Museum30 Day 13: food. Last summer at @mnbaq, I randomly stumbled upon #DavidAltmejd, The Flux and the Puddle, 2014. This ferocious, shrieking pineapple couple was just one of the surprising details in the room-sized installation that I discovered. #ITweetMuseums
Favourite object from the Layton Collection has to be the "Brentford Horn Cap", a beautiful #Celtic design #IronAge chariot fitting, probably found in the Thames near #Brentford, dated between 100BC – 50AD. Now kept at the Museum of London. #Museum30 https://t.co/AKBXeEiETq
My #FavouriteObject in the natural history collections @Museum_Cardiff would have to be one of the Blaschka Glass models. Which one I can't decide because they are all beautiful in their own way! https://t.co/7EvzhL3xnB #Museum30 #sciart
This rare #Maori raincloak incorporates over 1,500 mountain daisy (Celmisia) — or 'tikumu'—leaves. Due to their beautiful suede-like texture and natural water-resistance, it is also known as the 'leather plant’. Read more: https://t.co/DCPZcUBh84 [#Museum30 ~ Day 10: #Texture].
#Museum30 Day 9: "after dark." I love visiting museum at night, because the buildings and galleries often take on a dramatic mood, which highlights certain details that are imperceptible during the day. #ITweetMuseums
Lillie Langtry was an actress, a mistress, a muse, a business woman, inspiring and always #controversial #Museum30 #actresses #muse #beautiful #millaispaintings
For today's theme - museum love story - we present you with a walking stick, engraved 'from Joseph Dalton Hooker to Hyacinth Hooker 1906'. Gifted by @kewgardens director Joseph to his wife, the #oak was salvaged from the original C18th Kew bridge. #Museum30 #lovestory
We have the obligatory stuffed #animals in Jersey Museum - but one of our more unusual animals is a dog made from cigarette packets - we affectionately call him ‘Benson’ #Museum30 #art #dogsinmuseums #jerseycows
#Museum30 Day 3: Self Portrait
Meet Emily Valentine, a pioneer of women's rugby. In 1887, aged 10, she convinced the boys at her school to let her join in a game. Although not quite the first female player, she is proof that from the earliest times rugby was not just for men.
When the Field Museum moved to Lake Shore Drive in 1920, vertebrate paleontology displays were set up in hall 38. Can you tell what this space is used for today? #museum30 #blackandwhite
Another black and white image for #museum30 A microcline crystal showing characteristic tartan twinning under a cross-polarised light. Microcline is a type of feldspar, and is a common mineral in some slow-cooled igneous rocks such as granites.
Day 2 of #museum30 is #blackandwhite and we are celebrating the opening today of our latest exhibition, 'China: Through the Lens of John Thomson' so here are a few of our faves on display. Works for #FlashbackFriday too!
The forerunner to Pontefract Museum was a small volunteer run museum at Pontefract Castle. This 1892 catalogue lists 256 objects. The photo shows displays at Castle Lodge in the 1950s. #museum30 #YourMuseum #ThrowbackThursday
In 1956 the museum moved to the former Georgian music saloon and Mechanics Institute on Wood St. The displays followed the fashion for period room settings. #museum30 #YourMuseum #ThrowbackThursday
