Today I'm attending the #MuseumsAssociation one day conference on the #FutureOfDisposal, which is a hot topic for #museums everywhere.

I'd be curious to hear what my fellow GLAM folks on here think of pruning #collections - yay or nay?

I see the #MuseumsAssociation is bringing some mild spice (maybe paprika) to the #Coronation weekend via its newsletter.
