The job of a National Museums Liverpool (http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/) pressofficer is a varied one. With such a diverse family of museums and galleries, thereare many opportunities to highlight our exhibitions and events within the press, butnot all as exciting as yesterday…well, for me anyway!
http://blog.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/graphics/lucy_hedgehog.jpgHereI am with my one of my favourite little characters from the sessions, a gorgeous PigmyHedgehog
As a life long lover of Meerkats (yes, I even liked them before those well-known pricecomparison adverts hit our screens) I was chuffed to bits to be invited along to apress opportunity ahead of some fantastic Meerkat-tastic events that are taking placeat World Museum (http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/wml/) over the nextcouple of weekends as part of National Science Week.
These gorgeous little creatures will join other live desert and rainforest creaturessuch as snakes, reptiles and spiders (I’ll be steering well clear of the creepy crawlies!)for freeclose encounters sessions (http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/events/displayevent.aspx?eventID=739&venue=1) this weekend and next. You’ll even get to see some weirdand wonderful African and Egyptian hedgehogs! Beware of cuteness overload!
Come along to World Museum for sessions held at 11am, 12:30pm, 2pm and 3pm tomorrow,Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 March, and at the same times on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21March 2010 for your own close encounter.
The sessions last an hour, and are free when you collect a ticket from the museum’sinformation desk on the day to secure a place.
