This is going to be a really short blog post on the Museum of Bath at Work! The Museum of Bath at Work is a cross between a museum and a recreated factory. It reminded me a lot of living history houses which make you feel as though you are walking through a still inhabitable… Continue reading Museum of Bath at Work
What a truly amazing experience at the Roman Baths. I arrived nice and early and found myself to be the only person in line. Not only this, but, when I went to the free tour meeting spot an hour later it was just me and a lovely couple from London. So I essentially got a… Continue reading The Roman Baths
This museum has been at the top of my "must visit" list for years. For those of you who don't know, I have been volunteering both directly and indirectly with the Australian Dress Register since 2014. This work has really sparked my interest in textile collections from both a collection management and conservation perspective. I… Continue reading Fashion Museum – Bath
I am currently en route to Bath in a quiet carriage that is anything but quiet. Although the programme doesn't start until tomorrow night, I wanted a couple of days in Bath to relax beforehand and visit some more museums. Since I have some spare time I thought I'd write a little blog post on… Continue reading British Library
I have to say, above all else, the Museum of London had some amazing staff on the floor today! First thing I did when I arrived was go to the information counter to buy a map. The staff member there was so helpful and friendly and told me all about the free tours that were… Continue reading Museum of London
So my time in England has come to an end. The last museum I want to review is the Museum of Liverpool. I don't have a lot to say about this one. We visited just to see the Beatles installation show on the top level. That, in itself, was worth visiting. You step into darkened… Continue reading The Beatles Tour
Liverpool - home of the Beatles and the coolest/hippest city in England. The former is true and the latter is opinion. We dropped off our rental car yesterday morning and headed straight for the Beatles Story Museum at Albert Dock. The dock is absolutely beautiful packed with restaurants and museums. There are two bands in… Continue reading The Cavern Club Liverpool
So technically we didn't go to a museum today but an "attraction". For the sake of this blog, however, we went to a museum - The World of Beatrix Potter. I can understand why they don't call it a museum. On the other hand, though, it was a building that contained various objects that told… Continue reading The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction
How can you improve a long road trip? Go to a museum! Whilst driving from York to the Lake District we detoured slightly to visit Birdoswald Fort and Hadrian's Wall. The Fort itself was quite impressive. However, I really enjoyed seeing the remnants of Hadrian's Wall. Birdoswald is where you can see the longest remaining… Continue reading Hadrian’s Wall & Derwent Museum
The first museum we visited today, the York Cold War Bunker, is something you all need to see. Early last year, whilst in Berlin, I did their Cold War and Second World War bunker tours. They were phenomenal. When I saw that York had something similar, I just could not resist. We arrived bright and… Continue reading York Cold War Bunker & York Castle Museum
