This may be our most favourite tweet of all time. #OurBathSpaHeritage #Ourpleasure #curatorialglamour ☺️
Museum and heritage peeps - this account is going to go quiet for a while (hopefully not for long). It’s time for new adventures in #CuratorialGlamour! This is @LauraBrownUK signing off.
It’s been a pleasure…

Amy is a legend. #CuratorialGlamour #GoodLuckAmy
Today we've learnt that Amy, our Museum Assistant of 8 years will be leaving us at the end of this month. Amy, of "Empty Case" fame. bit.ly/3AT3Ksz
It's the weekend 🙌 and whilst the gallery is progressing really well I'll be glad to put my feet up after all these dull curator jobs - like flattening old nails on old planks of wood so no one impales themselves

Everyone thinks being a curator is about glamour and ivory towers when in reality its spending a sweaty 3 days moving tonnes of stonework and painting gallery joinery in your living room into the night. Still the best job in the world 😉 #archaeology #notallcurarors #curatorlife
This may now be our new favourite collection item.
Apologies to @TheMERL
#SpontaneouslyCombustingSheep #CuratorialGlamour
And a print of Cain and Abel. I know that it's supposed to show the whole story in a single image, but it does look like Cain and Abel are fighting while a different man is sad that his sheep has spontaneously combusted and another shepherd just tries to ignore it all.

Showing a colleague around this morning reminded us how far we've come in four years. So just for fun...
How it started. How it's going.

The idea of one of our favourite artists (@JackieMorrisArt), authors (@RobGMacfarlane), AND music groups (@lwspellsongs) being just round the corner ALL AT THE SAME TIME is making us quite giddy. *fans self gently* #CuratorialGlamour

It’s our Twitter anniversary today (apparently) so it seems a good time to announce that the @BathSpaUni archive is now part of @BathSpaCollect and it is kept IN A CASTLE! Pretty cool huh? Now we just need to figure out what’s in all those boxes…
#archive #CuratorialGlamour
Think museums are just about glamourous collections? Well, this week's highlights include getting a new boiler and finding a door handle so we can open a door that has been shut tight for many many years. Exciting stuff. Stay tuned for more of our exciting #MuseumLife

At Corsham Court we normally have peacocks outside the office window. Here at Newton Park, we have sleepy sheep. #ArchivalAdventures

And today it’s the home of @BathSpaUni archive! The views are most excellent. #RoomWithAView #CuratorialGlamour
Good morning! Today's #HigherEducationPostcard shows @BathSpaUni - and specifically the library at the Newton Park Training College, one of the University's three predecessor institutions.
Newton Park Training College was founded as a women's college in 1946.

So many unknowns...

Love a clever box. 😍
There is more than books, and artwork in the @BPLboston’s Special Collections. This is a cuneiform tablet dating from between 2350-562 BCE. BPL Conservation Officer Lauren built the box shown here, including padded alcoves and a sewn pocket pop-up feature for easy removal. (1/2)
This is why we gave up caffeine. #SoMuchShouting
