The #DorsetMuseum is really great. They have original notebooks from Mary Anning and several famous holotypes from the area out for people to see.

Some prehistoric bling for #FindsFriday
3 stone and 5 decorated glass beads found with the burial of a young Iron Age woman at Langton Herring now in #DorsetMuseum
They may originally have been worn individually as amulets or together as a necklace (as shown here) 😍

The main reason for returning to the Dorset Museum was to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition that was on at the time.

Yesterday I was well enough to get out and be with the family. We went to #DorsetMuseum where my grandson was eaten by a pliosaur. He loved it! He was also very keen on the mosaic floors 🥰

(short delay, eating…) Then to @DorsetMuseum, where I flexed my @WiltshireMuseum membership in the @WessexMuseums partnership, thank you very much.
I appreciated the visual links between the geological map in the Natural History gallery and one of the paintings on the wall…

I live about a mile from Max Gate and I love the Druid stone (and the history of the land there). His garden is really peaceful and still. Even though it’s right next to a bypass. Folk horror/pagan stuff is very typical of this part of Dorset. As I’m sure @dorsetmuseum will tell you ☺️
