Friday Snapshot from the Museum

A week or so ago the Museum here at  the MERL closed for refurbishment.  However, the Reading Room and Special Collections have been functioning as normal.  Although if I was honest I have been wasting a little time in the name of ‘work’

On Tuesday I popped into the Studio where a group of art students from a local school were painting some of the ‘not so rare’ items from our collections as part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.  I didn’t record there wonderful achievements (not so polite perhaps at the time) but I will return and with their permission …

The next day I learned the delights of Gifmaker and look forward to practicing, and using it as a way to promote the library and the museum while it is closed.

I also learned about Tumblr, another den of procrastination if ever I saw one! Nonetheless it was a fun way to spend an hour in the working day.

So while I have no images to demonstrate any of the above probably a best strategy if my line manager is watching; here is a snapshot from the museum that was.
