The book coverings chosen by Lewis Evans for the texts in his collection had leather accents, decorative marbled paper and titles in pride of place on the spines: these weren’t just texts—they were treasures 💎 See the new archival materials in our About Time exhibition.

On this day in 1920, Dame Nellie Melba became the first professional performer broadcast live around the world—from a packing shed in Essex. Super glam ✨ See the telephone microphone Dame Nellie used in our Making Waves display. #OnThisDay

Happy #SummerSolstice! Today, the Northern Hemisphere tilts most directly toward the Sun—the longest day of the year. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere marks its Winter Solstice, the shortest. We found the print that looks most like this emoji to celebrate 🌞
