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/ne...

Some of these make for bleak reading (especially the headliner, but that&#39;s no surprise) but here&#39;s a good summary of what the different #Welsh parties are pledging regarding #museums and #heritage: https://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/2026/04/reform-pledges-to-end-political-indoctrination-in-heritage-in-wales/ #Senedd2026 #elections #WalesPol #democracy #Wales

Yesterday I visited Dylan Thomas&#39; boathouse and writing shed in #Laugharne for the first time. It&#39;s a ditty little museum but very charming! Plus it was a VERY beautiful day for it. I&#39;ll freely admit I knew very little about Dylan Thomas before visiting, and now I know a smidge more (including what he sounded like). Winning, right? An excellent @thecwordpodcast excursion all in all! #museums #Wales #heritage #Carmarthenshire #DylanThomas #authors #writers

This is fantastically nerdy, I just love it. The V&amp;A has added the first YouTube video to its collection, via a reconstructed watchpage that shows it as it was in 2006. Because how else to you collect and curate the experience of watching a video IN THE PAST? Full details on the process here: https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/acquiring-an-early-youtube-watch-page-and-its-first-ever-video Well worth a read, it&#39;s fascinating! #museums #collections #YouTube #VictoriaAndAlbertMus...
