Great work Kate et al

Museums are back! And British Museum is stunning contemporary art from the ME and N Africa. Do go if you can, there is a story in every piece (from L: Parastou Forouhar/Iran, artist’s book by Amar Dawod/Iraq, depiction of Tahrir Sq by Mohamed Abla/Egypt, Taysir Batniji/Palestine)

So pleased that the Lampedusa Cross will be Coventry Cathedral this weekend and that British Museum could be involved with Coventry UK City of Culture 2021 - thanks to Chenine Bhathena MBE FRSA & everyone in Coventry City Council the BM & Department for Culture, Media and Sport for making this happen. A perfect place to start the nationwide tour. Go and see it!

Loved this project. We made this digital model from a CT scan of a not visible vessel (it is wrapped in original cloth) for National Museums Scotland. Part of #GallowayHoard. Scan Dr Dan O'Flynn British Museum reprocessed by us to bring out surface details. Leopards & Tigers in a viking hoard?

A wonderful morning browsing the textile archives of the Society of Dyers and Colourists at Bradford College in search of the first examples of synthetic dyes. What a treat to see the handwriting of the chemists that made history in the 19th century #heritagescience

Pleased to see Piambr's stela in this display British Museum in the case usually occupied by the #RosettaStone whilst this is in the #HieroglyphsExhibition. Great to see a schematic of what the stela's #polychromy may have looked liked from our investigations of the paint traces!
