Here are the prompts for #museum30 2025 - the ninth year!

If you would like to join in all you need to do is share an image, inspired by each days' prompt, throughout November. Don't forget to include #museum30 so other's can find your posts.
Definitely my biggest #achievement of the last year has been completing the Ceramic Scoping Project @artukdotorg.bsky.social. There’s now over 6000 ceramics you can search from collections around the UK!

For #museum30 day 26 there’s no better choice from the prompt ‘moving’ than the iconic dinos at the Natural History Museum!

It's really hard to be witty every day on the Internet so we're having another go at yesterday's #Mooseum30 theme 🐮

Ive never thought of myself as a specialist of anything but I do have a lot of special interests including the study of taxidermy. I even managed to work my dissertation around it!

For today’s prompt of #animal I’ve chosen this lovely little sparrowhawk by Jacobo de’ Barbari from the National Gallery.

Have you seen our dog?

If not, you should, he's awesome!

'Hatch', a terrier/whippet cross, was found outside the carpenter's cabin, and was the ship's ratter. He was also a good boy. Yes, he was.

I spent a week in Cornwall in April exploring the beautiful coastline and mining heritage, discovering the joy of solo walks!

I started my museum career working front of house @themerl.bsky.social whilst studying at university. As a very quiet person it really surprised me just how much I loved getting to talk to visitors everyday and hear about their favourite parts of the collection!

The closest I get to consistently keeping a #diary is my bird book which contains lists of sightings and sketches from various birdwatching trips (mostly it records visits to Skomer)

There’s a real #magic to nature and learning more about the origins of local folklore is something I want to do more in the coming year. This display of traditional herbs is from Brockhampton a couple years ago.

#museum30 day 17 - Making

Museums which explore the methods used to make the everyday objects we use in our houses are always fascinating. I loved getting to see the colour tests and plaster moulds used in the ceramic production at Gladstone Pottery when I visited last!

These are just a few of my favourite objects from some museums I’ve visited in the last 12 months - there’s been lots of art, ceramics and of course natural history!

We are already halfway through #museum30 and I’ve loved seeing what everyone’s come up with so far!

Day 15 is Kindness, something I’ve been trying to be more mindful of this year is being kind to myself so this print on the wall beside my desk is a great reminder of that.

#museum30 day 14 - Heavy

I love discovering preserved elements of history just dotted about in everyday life - like this sign giving instructions for heavy loads on the canal bridge!
November 14, 2025 at 9:19 PM
I love how full the background is in this piece ‘An English Garden’ by Percy R. Craft, it looks like you could just step into the painting!

Now that I work for Art UK - a digital platform, I get to working from home. It is something I’ve adapted to so much better than I had anticipated when beginning my role.

#museum30 day 11 is reflection and I’ve gone simple today with the reflection of a bridge on one of my favourite local canal walks.

The prompt for day 11 of #museum30 is rainbow, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share these two photos taken one of my stays on @skomerisland.bsky.social Very excitingly, I’ll be spending a week volunteering on the island next summer!

Captivated by the hunting locally, King James I established a royal retreat in our town, remnants of which can be seen today. These satellite images are overlaid with the historic buildings and street names from the era of King James, based on archival documents.

Some people will tell you that the Mary Rose never made it out of the harbour, but she was actually well travelled, at least for a ship in Henry VIII's navy.

This map shows some of the Mary Rose's more notable destinations - any near you? #Museum30 #Maps

This notebook from my time as Assistant Art Curator at y Gaer is full of these maps of the galleries. As a visual person they really helped when planning new exhibitions!
