I am keen to start my collections curator job, which is right up my alley. But I really hope they will put me to work writing and speaking as well. I'm a grand-standing extrovert who's also really good at ticking lists and keeping order. #museums

Report shows: ⛔ 60% of UK museum stores are full 🫸 24% will reach maximum capacity within 5 years 🗃️ Only 8% have 10+ year capacity for storage 🌡️ Only 15% of storage facilities meet current preservation standards ⚠️ Frequent issues with access and documentation backlogs (read: so you don't know what you've got it or why) 📥 Yet 83% of museums are actively collecting 📤 65% hope to rationalise (but need support doing so) Full story here: https://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/2026/07/breaking-point-report-highlights-collections-storage-crisis #museums #storage

A 200-year-old chamber pot with Napoleon hiding inside. Before social media. Before the internet. Before memes... There was pottery. Made in Liverpool around 1805, this creamware chamber pot hides a 3D bust of Napoleon Bonaparte inside, alongside the word "Pereat" Latin for "let him perish." It transformed an everyday household object into a bold piece of political satire, mocking one of Britain's greatest enemies. @brighton_museums #globalmuseum #museums #pottery
