On my way to the @amadigital digital marketing day on the early train. I'll be discussing the power of people across our TikTok, digital campaigns, YouTube and more. I'm in a pink dress and will probably be found near the tea and coffee station eating biscuits in the breaks.

On the first day of the @MuseumsAssoc conference, we welcomed #Museum2024 speaker @TracyBrabin, Olga Callaghan and Laura Bell, our Director of Collections to unveil our new display of Ukrainian armour plates from the current conflict - repurposed with @Art_Armor_org
In the two and a half years since the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian community has displayed incredible resilience and strength.
Today, I joined Olga Callaghan, Chair of the Leeds Branch of @AUGBSUB for the unveiling of a powerful new display at the @Royal_Armouries.
This serves as a poignant reminder of the reality of conflict, the ongoing war, and the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

We're looking forward to welcoming hundreds of people from across the museum sector to the @MuseumsAssoc conference for debate and discussion over the next few days. Our Director General Nat Edwards shares his thoughts on how museums can bring us together. #Museums2024
💭 Opinion | In febrile times, social cohesion should be at the core of what we do
The real joy of museums is in bringing communities together around shared stories, says @Royal_Armouries director Nat Edwards.

Another bank holiday weekend and another great weekend of Jousting at @Royal_Armouries. 90% of tickets sold and a big thanks to the team for all the efforts.
Tomorrow I wave goodbye to my 11 year old daughter and husband as they embark on the Coast-to-Coast walk. 190miles over 2 weeks. She's raised over £500 for Shelter. And I couldn't be more proud.

Up at 5am to get to London for 9am. On my second @LNER train that is stuck at Welwyn Garden City on course for a two hour delay. No one telling us anything. So frustrating.

I know people always say this but it really is an exciting time to join @Royal_Armouries. AND you get to work with @PipdPip and me.
Come and lead our Exhibitions and Displays Team!
We are embarking on a series of changing exhibitions and upgrading displays at our sites in Leeds, Fort Nelson & Tower of London. Could this be you?

Changed my route from the station to work and I now walk past this beauty. Lovely legacy of @LEEDS_2023. Plus hurrah it's not cold or raining this morning.

Early start this morning to see the Knife Angel from @BritishIronwork installed in front of the @Royal_Armouries and it looks so impressive.
Did you spot the Knife Angel flying in this morning?
Crafted from 100,000 knives seized by the police, it features messages from families of victims of knife crime and highlights the need for change.
Stay tuned to find out more, thanks to @WestYorksPolice and @LeedsCC_News.

Goosebumps seeing Florence Nightingale's legendary graphs at @britishlibrary. And more goosebumps seeing The Dark Crystal creatures in their very cool Fantasy exhibition. Magna Carta was pretty awesome too...

We always swim in the gannel on holiday. It's beautiful. But this tidal estuary has a @SouthWestWater overflow. It rained heavily on Sunday. Both husband and child have been in with heads submerged. Both have severe diarrhea and vomiting. I haven't. No alerts have been issued...
