News | National Museum of the Royal Navy hit by cyber attack – institution says incident is having ‘significant impact’ on the delivery of its services

I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It felt damned good to go through the fast entry lane via my Museums Association pass whilst also pushing Sir H 🐼 in his stroller! First stop after the tramride in; The Sun Inn; 1913 pub and I made myself right at home.

Feed please.
Dancing about in the hostel kitchen at 6am, coat on over my nightie, earphones in, having been unable to sleep because of all the ideas and connections firing off, not just from the #Museums2024 Conference, but the preceeding weeks, months and years, is a mood. And it's a good one. #TheJoyOfMuseums.
Ended up #NotGoingOut for a single meal in Leeds in the end at #Museums2024. Aldi to the rescue and some shopping done too. It's a #MuseumsAssociationConferenceSpecial on my bed. It's been a very good one and it's not quite over yet. Tours tomorrow! #TheJoyOfMuseums Cheers #MuseumsAssociation ! 🍷

'Human rights lawyer Helena Kennedy has been appointed chair of a new body that will tackle harassment and bullying in the creative industries, described as a "go-to body for anyone experiencing misconduct".'
The awkwardness for all involved 😬
A great response from the #museum though. They've worked on *not* scaring that kid away from museums for life.
