A belated happy new year for 2012, and what a beautiful frosty day it is! The Almonry garden always looks at its very best in Winter when the frost picks out the old abbey stone to make it sparkle.
We've had a busy start to 2012 so far. First we signed up as a partner museum to the Worcester Hive/12 Moves project: this will see us teaming up with the Vale School in Evesham and artist Kate Brookes to create one of the pieces that will be displayed at the big
Hive opening in March. This is an exciting project that takes the theme of an eccentric Victorian explorer and creates all sorts of wonders for him, including a cabinet of curiosity filled with jars of the extraordinary, the weird and imaginary! View Kate's blog
here for more information.
The new Kids In Museums manifesto is launched today and, as we have for the last two years, we are very proud to sign up. You can view the manifesto
here, or come see the copy we have on display!
One of our resolutions this year is to blog and tweet more regularly than we have in the past, so if there's anything you'd like to hear about or a focus on the collection, please let us know by emailing
tic@almonry.ndo.co.uk.
