We freaking love you beautiful Museum Geeks!

The Ministry like nothing more than to party and you beautiful museum geeks have given us the best reason to toast a large cocktail and shake our booty's.  Thanks to your love and support since our arrival to the Museum community back in November 2012 we have produced 80 articles, received thousands of views and now have over 800 followers on twitter.

WE FREAKING LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM GEEKS!

Stay tuned because we will be blowing your #museumsocks off over the next few months with exciting collaborations  more silliness and so much more love for Museums. 

But for now, here's some museum memes to show our appreciation...

We will catalogue anything for Ryan Gosling!

Hope you enjoyed the silliness, and yet again a massive thank you for following!

Thank you from the Ministry (plus creepy taxidermy)

Today we mark a very special occasion. This is our 50th post in the 5 months since we embarked on this crazy scheme to explore the fun side of museum life. We have 500 followers and our site has over 5,000 views. We can't express how much it means to us that you all read our ideas, chat to us on twitter, write brilliant posts for the site, come and say hi at events, and in general support the Ministry and our mission. 

What we have learned then is this: museum people are f**cking brilliant. You crazy beautiful bastards you. We can't get enough of your thoughts and opinions, your dynamism, your cheekiness and of course your intelligence. London has such a thriving museum community and we are just so excited to be a part of it.

So here's to many more event postings, crazy hash-tags, exhibition reviews and snarky comments to come. Keep reading, spread the word, submit your post ideas and as ever get curious!

Lots of love,

The Ministry

And now for your viewing pleasure and in no way directly inspired by Museums Showoff (cough) here are some pictures of ridiculous taxidermy:
