North Hertfordshire Museum’s doors may be temporarily closed to visitors, but it is now set to reach a new virtual audience via its newly launched You Tube channel.
Visitors to the channel can watch educational videos - recent uploads include interviews about North Herts Suffragettes, a detailed tour of the recent Rembrandt art exhibition and an in-depth non-gory family friendly look at how ancient Egyptians mummified their Pharaohs – using teddy bears to tell the story. It will also give unique insights and behind the scenes glimpses of life at the Museum.
The Museum has also recently welcomed many new followers to their social media channels, posting their latest news on Facebook , Twitter (where they participate in Art UK’s national online art sharing scheme) and Instagram, as well as blogging - most recently about the history of Pirton, Hinxworth, Walkern and Kimpton villages in North Herts.
Cllr Keith Hoskins, North Hertfordshire District Council’s Executive Member for Enterprise and Co-operative Development said: “Despite having to physically close the doors to the Museum, the team have been hard at work behind the scenes, building their digital presence, to ensure people can still enjoy what they have to offer. New content will be uploaded regularly, so make sure you follow or subscribe to our channels, so you don’t miss out on the latest Museum news and videos.”
