Fantastic to join @sensationalmuseum.bsky.social's online showcase this afternoon. Participating with the project's collections strand on behalf on @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social last year was transformative for me as a curator in rethinking cataloguing & accessing collections in multi-sensory ways.

A quick thread answering 'what is The Sensational Museum?' and 'what are they actually working on?', just in case you needed it.
The TLDR is that we’re using what we know about disability to change museums for everyone. The longer version involves rejecting some key assumptions often made.
