20.01.2022 This day in history...

19.01.2022 He had mined his claim at Lightning Ridge in north-west NSW for 25 years without luck when he unearthed some strange looking fossils. "Well we didnt know what it was, all we were interested in was looking for a bit of colour in them," Mr Foster said."And what we used to do is smash them up. We smashed probably a trailer load....

17.01.2022 "A 21st-century heritage professional is unlikely to spend much time luxuriating in a museum gallery wearing white gloves and a learned expression. " So true...but wouldnt it be nice if we could?

15.01.2022 Stunning photo mash ups!

14.01.2022 "The faade and various other parts of this particular city were actually first documented in the 70s by an American archeologist, Eric Von Euw, who visited the site and coined it Lagunita. While he may have made some useful sketches, he did a very poor job of recording the location of the city and thus no one was able to re-trace his footsteps."

14.01.2022 Intriguing! My moneys on the taxidermy trick option.

12.01.2022 Amazing photographs!

09.01.2022 "One of the significant elements of the find, Mr Franks said, was that some artefacts appeared to be from the Hunter Valley...Transport for NSW has acknowledged the significance of the find but has not said if it would comply with the request to stop work on a transport project with tight time frames."

07.01.2022 What you experience when you visit an art museum these days is likely very different from what your parents did when they were your age. In plain terms, across ...the field, in museums, art institutions, performance forums, and even historical societies, the visitors experience is now being personalized. This means that not only is the visit marked by enhanced, interactive, and dialogic engagement, but also there is an institutional recognition of the visitor as an independent maker of meaning who uses the museum in a variety of ways to fulfill particular, individual needs and desires.

06.01.2022 This sounds pretty fab!

06.01.2022 "Unesco encourages World Heritage Sites to be managed through partnerships. Typically, these are formed of people from different sectors who have a stake in the site: scientists, educators, tourism organisations, transport and others. The Jurassic coast partnership showed considerable vision in 2005 by also involving the arts sector."

05.01.2022 Medieval oyster shell paint palette, uncovered in 1966.

05.01.2022 Amazing! Truth is stranger than fiction...

03.01.2022 Some visitors may have forgotten the experience by the time they walked out the door but that did not mean it was not worthwhile, Ms Gillies said. For at least an hour of that day theyre completely engaged, theyve been talking, interacting with people, touching things, she said. The Reminiscence Cottage won a Victorian Museum Award in the medium museum category.

01.01.2022 Archaeologists have uncovered Britains Pompeii after discovering the "best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found" in the country.
