Fantastic to join @sensationalmuseum.bsky.social's online showcase this afternoon. Participating with the project's collections strand on behalf on @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social last year was transformative for me as a curator in rethinking cataloguing & accessing collections in multi-sensory ways.

Got space in your schedule? Want to know how working in a multi-sensory way can change how museums work for everyone? Want to hear from people who've tried it out? Join our showcase, at 3pm (BST) today. Tickets: tinyurl.com/4khd5d2s Information, including schedule & slides: tinyurl.com/4zh648xt

The @sensationalmuseum.bsky.social is a research project radically re-thinking the role of senses in museums. This July they are gathering together to share and celebrate their work over the last 2 years. Amelia spoke to Hannah Thompson to learn more.

How can museums create multi-sensory experiences, and collections records? How can The Sensational Museum resources help? How did it change the museum professionals' way of working? Find out! There's still plenty of time to sign up to join our sensational online showcase next week
