You may be feeling completely conferenced out by this point, but don't forget that we've got some fab tours across West Yorkshire today for those of you still in lovely Leeds 📍

A few members of MA staff are dotted around across the tours, so please do say hello to us if you're there! #Museums2024

Day two! First up at 9.00am is Michelle Charters, director of the International Slavery Museum, in conversation with actor, singer and writer Michelle Gayle, co-founder of The World Reimagined. It’s going to be a good one.

Thank you all very much. Feels like lightning in a bottle on here right now. Good to see that there’s demand for us on Bluesky!

What a delight that this has happened during #Museums2024 🥳

We know the conference fatigue can set in by this time of day but we promise it's worth sticking around for the live performance of Objects and Concepts by Surfing Sofas, the Museum of Homelessness's poet-in-residence, at 6.00pm. It's really special, so don't miss it. #Museums2024

We don't want to overdo it by spamming everywhere BUT we'd be remiss if we didn't say something here about the amazing winners of our Museums Change Lives Awards 2024.

They represent the best of socially-engaged practice in museums across the UK and we love celebrating them.

We can't believe that November (specifically 12-14 November) isn't more widely considered to be Awards Season #tbh #Museums2024

Tune in now to hear from our president Steve Miller, our director Sharon Heal and our treasurer Mo Suleman as we run our AGM. And then it's the Museums Change Lives Awards! THE awards ceremony of the year! And then we'll also be hearing from DCMS's Chris Bryant MP. #Museums2024

If you can't wait to find out who's won the Museums Change Lives Awards 2024 later, head to the Cinema of War now for a little taster – we've got a spotlight session looking at the nominees 🏆 #Museums2024

Coffee break number one: time to head over to our networking area in the main museum building to have a natter with our supporters and, importantly, grab a hot drink. We're parched! #Museums2024

Love this pic and love this crowd even more! #Museums2024

Very much looking forward to joining colleagues from the wonderful Thackray Museum of Medicine to discuss how to “Embrace the Chaos” and integrate uncertainty - and joy! - into museum exhibition design 😃 🤩 My first time at @museumsassociation.bsky.social and sure to be a super event!
Tomorrow, 12 Nov, @graemegooday.bsky.social is leading the centenary celebrations of the Electrical Association for Women and @kingtekkers.bsky.social is speaking at the @museumsassociation.bsky.social conference. It’s all happening! #histsci
