#museums30 Day 10 #wood How do I love you? Let me count the ways. From sculptures @IMMAIreland, ( https://t.co/mQ9wJAfpYN) to sturdy transport crates, pallets and beautiful flooring in storage buildings, we take the versatility of wood for granted.

#museums30 Day 9 #Pests can munch through museum collections! To combat this we monitor for their presence, implement cleaning regimes and quarantine collections before they can go on display or into storage.

#museums30 Day 4 #light can add atmosphere to museum spaces. However, it is an agent of deterioration and damaging to museum collections, so we find ways of keeping excessive light out of galleries and stores.

#museums30 Day 2 👋I'm Melissa, Collections Manager and Senior Registrar @IMMAIreland. Love how good Collections Management makes museum collections more accessible. Hobbies include ogling museum storage furniture, Lego, sorting stuff and eating the food @PaoloViscardi cooks.

It's the start of #Museum30 today, the theme is Museum and this is @IMMAIreland where I'm very lucky to work. This was on a recent weekend visit with friends.

Some of you might remember a Tweet I did a while back where I rehydrated a frog specimen from @DublinDeadZoo I've written it up for @Nat_SCA if you want to see the details and photos of the process. Enjoy! https://t.co/eOsj69oLvN

For many, the road to Pride is a long one. This year, we were lucky enough to give some older members of Ireland’s LGBTQ+ the Pride they never had. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed being a part of it. #TheLongRoadToPride #DBPride

I always like people who talk about first use of nuclear weapons who have never experienced war and the sheer carnage of it. #bbcqt
