Every 19th Sept. we remember, discover and connect to our time with the Wesley Hobart Museum in Tasmania.
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Wesleyan Library - considered by some to have been Australia's first public library.

Games, eh? The Day 3 theme for #MuseumWeek2025. So, this morning @colleenwood.bsky.social and @woodac.bsky.social decided to play charades. We got as far as "Two Words - Title - First Word".

Ammonites were abundant in the seas during the Jurassic Period. Ammonites are shelled cephalopods, a class of marine animals that include octopuses, squid, cuttlefishes and nautiluses. Ammonites have retractable tentacles for catching small prey, although some species filter-fed for small plankton.
