Today's top pick is all about signage & wayfinding! In a previous life, I looked after S&W for a huge museum & so I probably pay a weird amount of attention to it when we're out & about.

This year, I particularly loved this floor signage in the lift at the #Waterford Treasures: Medieval Museum!

Now, onto my top #ruins of the year! Popped to #Pontefract a few weeks ago and stumbled across the beautiful All Saints Church, a 1960s church snuggled in the ruins of a 14th/15th century church destroyed during the civil wars. Absolutely beautiful 😍

Our best surprise visit of the year was undoubtedly seeing the "Displaced: From the Nile to the Derwent" exhibition at #Derby Museum & Art Gallery just before it closed. The interpretation was honest, respectful, and thought-provoking.

Next up, a #museumyear isn't complete without a bit of dressing up! Here's a few from the Tolson Memorial Museum in #Huddersfield, the Museum of #Oxford, and @colmuseums.bsky.social, from Romans to Victorians we love a good chance to dress up and be silly 😂

First up, my number one temporary exhibition of 2024, "Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers" at the National Gallery London. I have seen a lot of Van Gogh paintings on my museum travels, but this exhibition was full of stunning surprises and fantastic interpretation which was presented beautifully 😍🌻🎨

Hello Bluesky 👋

Although I'm still over on Twitter I thought it was time to come and share all things Stuart Kings, Queens, and heritage sites over here as well!

Ilka will, of course, continue to feature heavily 😺❤️
