Art Museum Shenanigans! #art #artmuseum #artist #visualart #museumtour #museumeducator

A few years ago I received a load of thank you letters after a class visit. One child wrote that their favourite bit was the ancient Egypt gallery because they ‘licked’ the mummies. I didn’t tell Conservation. #Museumeducator #mummies

Gingerbread sneak peak! We open the show on Friday and we just finished the final touches this afternoon (a couple hours after I took this video - no ladders for the public 😂). It’s always a sprint, but it’s worth it (even if the smell of cinnamon haunts me…) #MuseumEducator #Gingerbread

Shop display unit with copies of a children’s picture book called Is that Doris? arranged vertically and horizontally.

My latest project was delivered today with the official launch of our first ever children’s story book at the #museum. Is that Doris? is based on the Pliosaurus carpenteri fossil in the collections AND there’s a cuddly pliosaur too. Being a #MuseumEducator is never dull!

#Museum30, Day 22, Career - Left school with no guidance no idea how to develop a career. But I was a homeschooling mom, Girl Scout leader, and substitute teacher. When I saw the #MuseumEducator job I knew I had what they needed. 13 years later, I'm the director of a mid-size science museum.

You know you’ve been a #MuseumEducator for too long when the highlight of your day is finding someone to make replica Iron Age axe heads…

I’m already working my way through. Please add me to the list, I’ve been a #MuseumEducator for so long I’m practically part of the collections now 🤪 Look forward to catching up with colleagues old and new!

Plastic cup of red liquid, glass dip pen, and parchment sheet that reads: “Testing ink made from berries! Raspberries and blackberries with salt and vinegar. Seems to darken a bit as it dries.”

A messy cart full of small cups of red and black liquid, glass dip pens, spoons, and bowls filled with berry juice and pulp.

Making ink from berries and teaching kiddos how to write with dip pens today! Totally definitely absolutely not blood or anything. Berries. Yeah. #MuseumEducator
