#Museum30 Day 29 - ‘ #Storytelling '
Collections are so much more than gatherings of stuff. They are more than just pretty or old things. They tell can tell stories about the past, about #nature or #crafts and #art . In this case even all three together.

We have some children's books in our library. #Storytelling #Museum30

Today's #Museum30 is #Storytelling

A bit of a surprise in the #SloaneHerbarium NHM Botany today as I continue with work to inventory the collection. I have never seen a folio like this before. A work of art... but difficult to count the number of specimens. And who is it?

Have you spotted our secret blues of Eldon Street yet? There are 14 new history plaques around Eldon Street and the Arcade for #BrightNightsBarnsley created by students from Horizon CC Official to promote some of Eldon Street's untold stories! @barnsleycentre

Doing an extra shift in my pinny tomorrow at Maurice Dobson Museum between 10.00 and 14.00. See you all there! And don’t forget, we’re always looking for new volunteers. Pinnies ahoy, me hearties!

We have an amazing location in that we're based at Lancaster Castle and in a former prison - A wing. And it all comes full circle in that police recruits in the 1920s and 1930s slept in A wing and did their training here.

Remember that Singer sewing machine Grandma held on to all those years, only to pass it on to you? It could sell for top dollar today. Find out if you are lucky enough to have some of these old items laying around.

Our temporary blue plaque trail created with the brilliant students from Horizon CC Official will be staying up until the end of December, sharing forgotten stories of Eldon Street & the Victorian Arcade #ExploreYourArchive #Museum30 #Storytelling Barnsley Archives & Local Studies Barnsley Museums

Day 22 of #Museum30 : #Orange
The Rausing Building, now part of the Athelstan Museum, was formerly a Moravian Church.
While renovating to turn it into a modern meeting space, we retained the character of the stained glass windows.
Looking great from outside when the inside is lit!

#Museum30 : #walls We are tucked away behind these big defensive walls on Haddington road. Step through the archway and pay us a visit!!

That front porch looks familiar! We have an #onscreen throwback for you. In 2009, Glanmore was transformed into Beaton Manor for the popular Canadian TV show #murdochmysteries ! It was a fun experience to be a part of TV Magic! #museum30 #bayofquintetourism #welovemurdochmysteries

We've collected the most common vintage items collectors are paying top dollar for. If you're lucky enough to have any of them, you're rich.
