Why is @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social closed for two weeks? We are refitting some cases, so right now, it looks like this. Trust me, it's more organised than it appears! I'm enjoying sharing a desk with my lion skeleton coworker

How do you move a 3 metre long, 150 year old dugong skeleton?

The @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social dugong (known as Dougal or Derek to its friends) has been taken off display to be re-mounted by conservator Nigel Larkin. It will be back in the new year looking better than ever.

I thought my first post on Bluesky should be something positive and motivational
