Did you know, that up until 1967 horses were made of metal! No neither did we! Here is a bit of a horse found on a Bungee Age archeological dig near Ratho. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to determine exactly which bit of the horse it is but our horse expert thinks it might be the bit that holds the knees on.
With only three days left to see this summers outlandish Chinese Shipwreck Display, we thought we would post something special to entice you along! Our graphics team have been at it again and done us proud with their unique take on information display. I'm sure you'll agree this insightful and beautifully situated label leaves nothing to the imagination. Come on down today! Doors open 9:00am - 9:12am (Closed 9:06am - 9:07am for lunch) Admission for those who are a bit wobbly £23 or £90 for a family ticket. No clowns please.
Well I never. Our graphics team have been working through the night to come up with a modern, sophisticated display for this 'Small Bottle', I think they nailed it.
We're all in a bit of a flap today! The reason? Today's the day the long awaited addition to our Sporting Memorabilia Hall of Fame arrives. So what is it? It's 'Allan Wells's Parcel Tape' Circa 1985, and our conservation team are on stand by, ready to make the final adjustments to the climate controlled display case that will ensure no harm comes to the precious tape.
By all accounts it is a well preserved example of a late 20th century adhesive and will surely bring in large numbers of keen followers of athletics. Because its Allan Wells's tape and he was a runner. |
