Is this thing on? 🎤
A big day - I now have a website to promote my freelance wares! Here it is, and here I am as a content specialist, helping heritage institutions to develop audiences through social media, podcasts, and digital strategy đź’«
👉 museummeg.co.uk
I've been really lucky to work with dream clients like National Museums Scotland, the Bronte Parsonage Museum and Sotheby's Institute of Art in the last 3 years, on some (very) exciting digital projects and workshops.
If you want to work together on podcasting, social media or digital strategy - or, actually, if you just want to chat - get in touch đź’»
Big thanks to my lovely friends in the sector for the self-promo nudge and testimonials 💫
Does anyone have any recommendations for Focus Group Recruitment Specialists?
We’re running Audience Development focus groups as part of our Digital Masterplan project @HarewoodHouse, and are looking for help with recruiting for participants.
Thanks v much!
Anyone got a suggestion for a lovely museum to visit when I’m back home in Bracknell this weekend?
(not Reading Museum MERL, which are both gorgeous but I’m in the mood for a day trip to somewhere new and I have a CAR)

We’ve found the Book of Hours captured by Holbein in his famous portrait of #ThomasCromwell! Cromwell’s book is one of the few objects depicted in a Tudor portrait to survive. @TracyBorman has dubbed it “the most exciting Cromwell discovery in a generation - if not more.”

After the chaos of the last week - which has been gorgeous but a LOT - I have somehow made it to Seville 🍊
Recommendations gratefully received! I currently have food and beer on my list and nothing else (which is also fine)
2 years ago today I was chuffed to join the board of @OldHouseMuseum, & celebrated with like 5 bakewell tarts and then felt very sick.
I regret nothing!
A few of our board members are stepping down this year, so we’re looking for others to join our very lovely board 🍰

It's such a brilliant small museum, and I've learnt so much from the people there in a short amount of time.
I really recommend it to anyone looking for their first trustee role especially, as the support I've had in the last 2 years has been wonderful. It's very rewarding!
