Last day of Museums Week and the theme is #OceansMW

Our History Haven crew made fantastic ocean themed dioramas yesterday, while learning how difficult a situation our oceanic environment is facing due to pollutants.

Day 7 of #MuseumWeek2025. Today’s theme is Oceans. One of our newest displays in the Nature Gallery at Bolton Museum looks at sawfish, but that’s not all your can learn about - we have octopuses, sharks, dolphins, fish, crabs and even whales in the collection! Who knew?! #WorldOceansDay #OceansMW

A beautiful engraved print of an octopus in black and white with its tentacles wiggling out and upwards and its head at the bottom of the page.

And we all love this wonderful octopus in ‘Aquatilibus [On things that live in the water]’ by Pierre Belon, 1553.

The text notes the octopus can change colours: ‘now white, then red, then livid, then distinguished by various shades.’

An illustration showing two fish. On the left is a fish with a pink belly, purplish back with light spots (the common trout). On the right is a green fish with a yellow belly and black spots (the Northern Char).

An illustration of a flying fish. It has two large fins spread like wings above it as it jumps out of he waves. Seagulls and a ship's sails can be seen in the background. The fish is coloured wit ha green back and fins tinged with pink and yellow.

This #WorldOceansDay we are sharing some fantastic sea creatures that swim through our heritage library books.

Such as the Common Trout, Northern Char & Flying Fish in ‘The natural history of British fishes’, with illustrations drawn by James Hope Stewart, 1843.

Today is the final day of #MuseumWeek. Together for the Oceans – #OceansMW on World Oceans Day.

Here in Nova Scotia, the sea is a way of life. From the salty breeze to the crashing waves, the sights & sounds of the ocean are ever-present, reminding us of the beauty and power of nature. #NovaScotia

So, a slightly tenuous link to today’s #MuseumWeek theme, #OceansMW, but here’s a lifebelt from HMS Cornwallis. The ship transported the 2nd Bn, SWB, from China to Gallipoli in 1915. The ship was sunk off Malta in January 1917 after being torpedoed by a German submarine. Fifteen lives were lost.

For #WorldOceanDay and #OceansMW, we’re diving into the collection to explore how some Irish artists have connected with the sea through their work. Come with us!

The final #MuseumWeek theme is #OceansMW

William De Morgan designed many tile panels ranging from just a few pieces to those covering large expanses of wall. De Morgan was commissioned to produce tile panels for P&O to decorate their ocean liners #WorldOceansDay

Une des esquisses de Théodore Géricault pour la constitution de son tableau Le radeau de La Méduse. Dans cette esquisse, l'Argus, le bateau sauveur, est extrêmement visible.

A photo of a pill box in a museum display case. Pictures of an old fashioned steam ship cruise liner, steam train, and propeller plane surround the 50s art deco logo for "AIRSEA" brand travel sickness medication.

During the D-Day channel crossing, allied soldiers used an aboriginal Australian sea sickness remedy made from corkwood trees.

It turned out to be a good source of scopolamine, a common ingredient in seasickness remedies like this to this day.
