Fishbourne Roman Palace

We're on here. But so are Very Many Others who are worth a follow. go.bsky.app/HPQsZAu

Fam! We were trying to be funny in our earlier post (we should know better)! Nice to know we're loved, though. Thanks. We’ll be back soon with new content – watch this space...

😭Sad news😭 The authorities have finally caught up with us so this will be our last post on BlueSky. It's been a blast and we love you all. Especially our BFF @merchantshallyork.org 🥰🥰 Keep up with the posting, everyone. Together you can conquer the scourge of work-based productivity...

Mosaics = zero 🙄 Hypocausts = zero 🤨 Oldest formal gardens in Britain = zero 🥱 The Royal Yacht Britannia = two stars ⭐⭐😐 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We've decided we have too much money, so THIS SATURDAY (2nd May) you can visit for just FIVE QUID and kids go free! 🤩🤩. We're even laying on music, craft stalls, refreshments and that. Oh! Oh! And there's going to be a bouncy castle!! What's not to love??! 😍🏰

How. Many. Times... 🙄

A brilliant afternoon spent at the always excellent Fishbourne @romanpalace.bsky.social with #CuratorRob Symmons Although with the constant reminder of what can never (ever) be mine.... #HypocaustGate

We endorse this post. 👇

Yesterday was International Flamingo Day, but for this little guy it may as well have been a lifetime ago. 🧑‍🍳🍴🤤 #MosaicMonday

Imagine waking up to this every day. 😍😍 #SundayHuxley

@maryrosemuseum.bsky.social haven't posted for 12 days. We're worried they've sunk. Again. 😬

We lent the Learning Team this book and for some reason when they returned it, it was wrapped in cling film. 🤔

We're delighted to now be on the Bloomberg Connects App, allowing you to access more information on our museum, collections and history in multiple languages, as well as an audio guide of our displays. - all for free! 😀 Find out more at: www.cromwellmuseum.org/about-us/new...

Volunteer Bethany was in yesterday and made archive boxes... a LOT of archive boxes...

It’s St George’s Day! 🐉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Seems apt to share our most popular post on bluesky. Although we have been told that the dragon in question is actually a wyvern. 😬

Do you want to see our impression of a dog?

Huxley's too old and stiff to get as far as the bluebell woods these days, so here's a pic of him when he wasn't. #SundayHuxley

Yesterday's ##archive30 was #archivestorage. We're not as neat as the big guns ( @mrcwarwick.bsky.social & @romanpalace.bsky.social ) but we try our best!

Old, messy, but ours. We're incredibly jealous.

We may be tiny but we are mighty! (And it smells like old books 🥰)

Since everyone's sharing pics of their archives ATM... We visited the mighty Archaeological Resource Centre in Northamptonshire this week and saw their amazing archives, which are overseen by Ben: a slightly underripe #CuratorRob.

We need to do a new video now it's full, but for now you'll just need to marvel over this. 🤩 bsky.app/profile/roys...

We know we're biased, but ours are better. 😎

The Algorithm is on to us.... 😬

We would like to apologize that our recent content has been so awesome that it's been causing BlueSky to glitch. We will return to posting an endless stream of utter rubbish immediately. Again: Sorry. 😳

Did anyone else see this message in the clouds this morning? #LookUpAtTheSkyDay

Those folk from @buarchanth.bsky.social are back today with their fancypants ground penetrating radar. They're trying to find out what's beneath our car par. We don't like to tell them they're wasting their time... Nothing interesting ever gets found under a car park, right? 👑😬

I'll be talking about Roman Baths in Britain at the Epping Forest District Museum on the 22nd April at 7pm. Tickets £7 to raise money for the museum. www.ticketsource.com/efdmuseum/ta... @theromansoc.bsky.social @romanpalace.bsky.social @durotrigesdig.bsky.social @uclarchaeology.bsky.social

Today we will be mainly posting pictures of artefacts that look like sweets. 🍬🍫
