#Museum30 today is #Glow and here we have a headlamp which would have provided quite a glow from the last remaining DV4 electric dustcart. This plied the streets of Brum between 1938 & 1971 & it was charged using electricity taken from burning the waste it collected

#Museum30 today is #Green Here is our record breaking Austin A90 Atlantic coupe that achieved 63(!) records at the Indianapolis Production Car Endurance event in 1949. Maybe it was filled up by our green petrol pump. Was it even built with our green mechanical hammer? 🤔

It's dreams for today's Art UK #OnlineArtExchange celebrating Portia Zvavahera: Zvakazarurwa Kettle's Yard. This is Edward Hughes' "Night and Her Train of Stars" (1912) from Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. It's kinda dreamy.
