#MuseumWeek trending on Twitter

March 24th-30th sees Whittlesey Museum participating in an international museum event based on the social network Twitter.

During the seven day #MuseumWeek, more than 350 museums, galleries and cultural institutions from across the UK as well as similar organisations from France, Spain and Italy will be tweeting every day to the same hashtags to create a shared museum conversation.

Each day has a different topic to discuss, designed to help readers get "behind the scenes in 140 character bursts". Some of these topics include #MuseumMastermind, in which museums will quiz their followers on their collection knowledge, #AskTheCurator which encourages questions to flow in the other direction and even posting #MuseumSelfies! Whittlesey museum volunteers have already been getting busy posing for theirs....
