Everyone winning
An 8yo in a Hawaiian shirt, blue shorts, and red crocs stands on a lawn holding a massive blue and otange water gun. The face is obscured by a photo of a raccoon. The water gun is pointed at the dry grass in front of a tan and white corgi, who is eagerly watching to see if the water gun will shoot

Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys

He looks despondent and adorable. He has line art of reeds painted on his back and face. A ceramic baby rattle from the met shaped like a pig. However it doesn't look much like a pig, it's giving creature saying ooooooo. It's adorable.Little red earthenware bowl from the met. It has two little humanoid feet on the bottom and looks like he's standing shyly. Adorable.

Infinite thanks to @magnifyzoology.bsky.social for doing this every year!!! It’s such a huge effort and is a great chance to discover new things about your work, approaches, ideas, and to find colleagues across the museum sector. 🥰

#museum30 day 30: why museums? Being able to tell and share stories, either from yesterday or thousands of years ago- from the story of the object to how it was made, who made it, and what we can learn from that today. And because we keep learning new things all the time!

#museum30 day 29: hope We’re always hoping for a better week, month, year, one more calm, more organised, more measured, with no catastrophes, etc., but they rarely seem to come. Instead, I hope we can at least find a precious work/life balance and claw back some time, reinforcing our boundaries
