Welcome new followers! If you found me via @FediFollows #museum and #gallery recommendations, you might also like to check out the Nottingham Natural History Museum directly at @GeorgeTheGorilla

George the Gorilla is one of the few Museum Mascots that made the move from Twitter and is active on #Mastodon

...and here are some pretty shells from the #NottNatHist collection!

#MuseumMascot

@LeMuseum Welcome to Mastodon!

Could the wonderful #MuseumMascot days from the old times be back upon us!?

@Beclfc @mike @30yrdscreamer You can follow the #MuseumMascot @GeorgeTheGorilla for updates. :)

@FediFollows

Museums!

Would it also be possible to get the Nottingham Natural History Museum account @GeorgeTheGorilla added to the museums category of the directory? George seems to be the only currently active #MuseumMascot on the Fediverse.

@andrewmarx @drmambobob You're probably right. 😩 It doesn't matter to me personally but it matters to my buddy @GeorgeTheGorilla The whole point of a #MuseumMascot like him is to communicate and interact with the public at large, not just peers. I'll plow on regardless as we won't know for sure unless we give it a try, and I'm a little more hopeful that Mastodon will gain traction as it evolves.

Oh, it's exactly one year since I joined #Mastodon!

But, honestly, I feel a bit lonely here, where are all the other #MuseumMascot accounts!?

This is what's keeping me busy at work these days. (This post would be a 'retweet' if such a thing existed here, but it'll have to be a comment instead).

@Gizz47 @markwitton The Surinam toad is one of the few creatures that give me the heebie-jeebies.

The jar of moles is their #MuseumMascot by the way, at least it was on Twitter.

#Introduction. I’m the holotype Pacific mastodon, hanging out at the #WesternScienceCenter. I talk about whatever I want, which is usually #paleontology, #pleistocene, and #museums. Really anything but #mammoths, which are not worth my time. #MuseumMascot

Sue the T. rex has joined Mastodon @SUEtheTrex! Glad to see I'm not alone here, museum mascots unite!
