Objects from RAMM’s collections are currently touring the country as part of an exhibition about colour @tulliecarlisle.bsky.social - To ensure they're not damaged during transport we make bespoke packaging for each object to keep them safe and protected on their long journey. #AskAConservator 🐧

This exhibition has been created for the Museums and Galleries Network for Exhibition Touring (MAGNET), with @artfund.bsky.social support and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through @artscouncilengland.bsky.social.

Installation shots, as always, by the excellent Stuart Walker.

Colour runs from 27 September to 25 January. Entry is included with annual pass or adult day ticket, under-18s go free.

You can learn even more in our chat with Luis V. Rey, which you can access here: tullie.org.uk/dinosaur-rev...

Open every day until 14 September, 10am-4pm, 11am-4pm on Sundays.

Enjoy the animatronics of course, but also take the time to properly appreciate Luis V. Rey's detailed & vibrant illustrations. Read the panels & learn about the dinosaur renaissance & the realisation that dinosaurs were not only related to birds, but that birds are the last remaining dinosaurs. 🐧🦕🤯
