New tours/ volunteer Party



To celebrate the opening of the new history tours, the Manchester Jewish Museum held an event for volunteers from other museums and institutions to come along and test them out! The museum had really good feedback of the tours, with all the visitors claiming to really enjoy listening to the tours, especially engaging in the characters!
After this day of tour giving, there was a party for all the new and existing volunteers to get together and have food, wine and hot drinks, followed by a quiz with glow in the dark hats and drawing on balloons! It was a really enjoyable night, despite everyone learning in the quiz how little they know about geography! I am really looking forward to giving these tours more often in the upcoming weeks, once I've learned them a bit more

Raquib Shaw



I love a visit to an art gallery, there's nothing quite like it to remind you of the beauty in the world. I went to the Manchester Art Gallery to see the Raquib Shaw exhibition, a really beautiful show of pieces that show the links between magic and animals. The mixture of rhinestones and raw animal strength had produced some really beautiful pieces I'll definitely visit again before the end of May.

(Disclaimer: I know nothing about art, I am aware of this)
