So far in 2023 myself and @ZoeOooe have visited Centre d’Interpretació Sant Francesc - Parc natural de ses Salines d’Eivissa i Formentera, Centre d’interpretació Madina Yabisa, Kirkleatham Museum, the National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology, and - with the Manchester Local Guides led by @PeteMHW - Manchester Museum.
But for this challenge I’ll share a popular photo from a much smaller museum - Apedale Heritage Centre

Apedale is a small volunteer led museum, created by the local community to celebrate the history of their recently ended mining industry. This photo has had many views already, probably because it clearly shows the accessibility of the venue and the type of artefact the museum holds. In this case not great art or jewels - bricks. Hundreds of them, created in the local area throughout the industrial revolution and beyond, and each proudly stamped with a maker’s mark. Pride in this utterly mundane item is palpable and infectious; my absolute favourite has to be this “substantial souvenir” which is one of a “limited edition of 231,336”.
Black Country wit at its most sarcastic.
It’s important Local Guides add as many photos and details as they can for these smaller museums, and I ensured I added photos of it’s entrance, cafe, and food options (Black Country speciality Outcakes ).
