📣 WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 I will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for THE MOST MUSEUMS VISITED IN 24 HOURS, supported by a team of fabulous volunteer witnesses working in shifts, in London on Friday 25th October 🏛🏃♂️🏛
Two questions that you may be able to help with to assist with this World Record Attempt 🤔💡
1. Do you have any suggestions for museums* in Central London that we should definitely try to build in to the attempt if we can?
As well as posts here on LinkedIn you can follow all the build up and all the visits on the day on a dedicated Instagram feed instagram.com/collectingmuse…
In undertaking this attempt I am hoping to highlight many wonderful museums across London that people may not be aware of. 🏛 ❤️
2. Do you know of any museums that may be open to the public* before 1000 or after 1700 (normal museum opening hours) as this will assist in extending the time available for the attempt.
This visit to @thevasamuseum Stockholm was jaw dropping 😱. What an achievement to have this object on open display in such an impressive setting, a big 👏 to all involved in operating, maintaining and developing this fantastic site 🏛️⚓️🇸🇪
Congratulations on your new name London Museum @LDN_Museum 🎉🏛️❤️(formerly The Museum of London)
Our new look has taken flight 🕊️

Congratulations to everyone across the @V_and_A team, and everyone else involved, in the development and operation of Young V&A @young_vam . A fantastic achievement all on winning #MuseumOfTheYear 2024 🏛️🏆👏 @artfund
A wonderful opportunity to witness this D-Day veteran, the largest object in the @I_W_M collection, saluting the 80th anniversary. 🏛️⚓️💥❤️ #HMSBelfast #DDay80
Whilst on site at @RMGreenwich today I took some time to visit the free exhibition Women of the @RNLI 🛟. A really interesting mixed media exhibition with some wonderful film, photography, infographics and objects.
On this wet island, where many of us spend time on or near water, it is a great reassurance to know they are there and willing to put themselves into danger for the benefit of others. 🙏🛟
It prompted me to go online after the exhibition and make a donation rnli.org/support-us/give-mon… 🙏🛟
