Short-cross penny of King John - who is forever remembered as he turned up to have his portrait incised: unshaved and still with his curlers in. #MorningMood #numismatics #ShropshireMuseums

Had a great time at today’s Pumpkinclout - the most autumnal fun you can have with a gourd, a bow and a quiver full of arrows!

Lovely recent donation - early to mid c19th mahogany apothecary chest containing a selection of medicine bottles with a set of handwritten prescription recipes.  Belonged to Lady Lucy Clive, Countess of Powis (1793-1875). Currently on display Shrewsbury Museum

Preparing an acquisition statement for a Bronze Age hoard has got me thinking a lot of this gold stuff looks at first sight like blingy pasta. Only a real curator can spot the difference… #CuratorLife #BronzeAge

Fancy new bow, fancy new internal monologue: “I shall call you ‘smugaid saighead’ and the archers beside me at the 40 yard line with tremble and look with envy, from the corner of their eye, at my fluffy beaver balls.”
