📡 10 years ago today we opened Information Age, a gallery that tells the story of 200 years of information and communication technologies!
In a new blog post, Curator of Computing and Communications, Rachel Boon, explores these technologies and shares developments over the last decade which shape how we use them today. bit.ly/3Aemit5
Delighted to be joining the Weald and Downland Museum, as their new Director. Preserving its collections of over 50 historic buildings, with traditional crafts and rural life, this fabulous team think about the methods of the past to build a sustainable future.
We are delighted to welcome in our new Director, Tilly Blyth!

Fascinating to host this unveiling for @EnglishHeritage and hear all the wonderful stories of Diana Beck’s grit, humour and hard work #blueplaque
Today Britain’s first female neurosurgeon, Diana Beck, has been commemorated with a blue plaque 🔵
The plaque will mark her former home and consulting rooms in Marylebone where she lived while working at Middlesex Hospital as its very first neurosurgeon. 🧠
ALT Diana Beck's blue plaque with the text - Diana Beck 1900-1956, Neurosurgeon lived and worked here 1948-1955
With a chapter from me and @rj_boon on Mediators, media, and meaning: curating digital objects at the Science Museum
Published! The first book in the Critical Perspectives on Museums & Digital Technology series! This short book, ed. by @simone_natale, @PetrinaFoti & @rossparry, examines the critical role that cultural organizations play in shaping digital heritage. t.ly/SXF4G
Popped over to the blue plaque unveiling as we were appropriately serenaded by @toricrossmusic in the rain to ‘stormy weather’. The heartfelt stories of the jazz singer Adelaide Hall were truly inspiring. #blueplaque #London

Check out this brilliant video from one of our @uniofleicester PhD students for our @ahrcpress project ‘Communicating Time and Culture’ highlighting the symbolism of the clocks in Chinese culture.
Thanks to @sciencemuseum @tillyblyth @LeicsMusStud @uniofleicester for giving us this wonderful opportunity to create a video for the exhibition "Zimingzhong 凝时聚珍: Clockwork Treasures from China’s Forbidden City".
Great to have you @tulliafraser at todays Grand Yaji Gathering and thanks for sharing your knowledge about the collections @DU_Collections
Saw the glittering Zimingzhong exhibition at the @sciencemuseum and joined the Grand Yaji symposium, part of the Communicating Time & Culture project. Grateful for the chance to give a quick talk (and glean interesting insights) on the astronomical clock here at @DU_Collections.
Good to see the important Bletchley Park codebreaker Joan Clarke honoured with a blue plaque theguardian.com/world/articl…
