Highlights – Sunday

After the light rain showers on Saturday, Sunday was bright and clear. We opened the Museum up at 10AM and we were receiving the last few visitors as we were packing away the displays at 5PM. We’ll have some visitor numbers for you at some point, but anecdotally I can tell you that we had hundreds of visitors on the Sunday.

On a personal note, it was lovely to be able to relax and sit back and watch the Museum in full working order. Saturday was quite a stressful day because in the morning I was still very busy getting things set up for the afternoon opening, so it was nice to sit down in the sun on Sunday and eat some of our lovely “Roman” ice-cream (Lavender and Honey flavour made especially for HIPUM by Tim) and watch the happy visitors coming and going.
