It's a little known fact that all curators are related.
Indeed, #CuratorScott and #CuratorRob are cousins.

If anyone's confused, #CuratorRob is standing a lot closer to the camera than the other two.
Thrilled to share that the Fair Game project, featuring

Is there a starter pack for museum un-professionals that we can put #CuratorRob on?
It's exciting to see so many new joins in the last few days and to feel communities rebuilding.
Here's a starter pack for museum professionals broadly... please reach out to be added! go.bsky.app/CQXG9A5

Glass Furnace action!! 🔥🍷
We're nearly there! The Roman glass furnace we're building @butserancientfarm.co.uk is nearly complete. Just need to create the roof and give him/her a name.
And maybe remind #CuratorRob that #StoneHenge isn't part of the brief. 🙄😳
