Not done any press for a while so it was a pleasure to spend a couple of hours today discussing Mythbusting with @wendyg.bsky.social of the Skeptical Enquirer. Fingers crossed there will also be a related podcast recording with some of her colleagues. Thanks Wendy!

People often ask me, at “Poetry Club” will there be whisky? “Of course!” I reply. It wouldn’t be much of a “Poetry Club” without Whisky, I mean Jazz, I mean poems… poems! poetry comes as standard. @bfdcathedral.bsky.social @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social @bradford2025.co.uk @bradfordlitfest.bsky.social

Ta-daaa! My new display has been installed and visitors could see it from this morning at Bradford Industrial Museum @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social. A celebration of the iconic Fountains Cafe, #Bradford. Really proud of this display, preserving and showcasing a slice of Bradford. ⛲️ ☕️ 🍽

Photo shows a display of objects from Fountains Cafe (mural, painting - both showing a fountain - and signage) on a brown wall. There are orange floor plinths in front of it with panel stands. The top corner is walled off with a table and chairs behind it. The wall has panels showing illustrations of the exterior and interior of Fountains Cafe.

For today's #OnlineArtExchange theme, Valentines and Palentines, we've been all about Music lately at our site Cliffe Castle's 'Season of Music', and they do say music is the food of love. So we really liked this one in the Harris! @artukdotorg.bsky.social

We could probably say something profound, but it's just a hello for now! We're Bradford District Museums & Galleries, in lovely West Yorkshire - we look after Bradford Industrial Museum, Bolling Hall Museum & Libary, Cartwright Hall Art Gallery & Cliffe Castle Museum #Bradford #Museums #Galleries

a large mill building, converted into a museum. There's blue sky above it!

A victorian mansion/castle typebuilding, with some additions, now a museum

rather ornate exterior of an art gallery, all columns, pediments and cupolas

a glorious mis-mash of a stone pele tower with 17th century and a Georgian extension...
