Isn't this fabulous? Dancing Girl & Elves by Constance Smedley. It is in a book of drawings by members of Birmingham School of Art for E R Taylor in 1903. Possibly when he retired as headmaster? Good to find out about #womenartist Constance Smedley.

There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.

Look at this little dog's face! It isn't just boredom but disgust, like the dog might have to barf if the women keep swooning over the man like that.

Fantastic to see artworks by Selina Bracebridge (1800–1874) added to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery's online image resource / DAMS, #WomenArtists are too often missing or invisible in museum collections.

Good to be at the Museums Association's #MuseumTech2024 conference today, and to be on the panel talking about #AI . We could have talked for much longer, such an interesting subject & hot topic! There were so many questions from the audience that we couldn't get through them all.

The Museum of Transology is collaborating with Trans Pride UK to build local trans collections. Museum of Transology will be in Birmingham Sat 20th April. If you have an object that helps to tell your story, please come along and share. Venue Museum Collection Centre 12 – 3pm.

I haven't seen these in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery collection before, artworks by Muirhead Bone, the first official British #WW1 war artist. He was appointed in May 1916. Great that they have been added to the online image resource / DAMS.

I mentioned Mar Dixon ☕️🎭🗿🏛❤️ as presenter on a Brazilian TV show on contemporary art in her obituary for Museums Association - lovely to see the trailer on Facebook. Her co-host was Marion Strecker, filmed 2017 released 2018. Thanks to Paul Hutchinson for the link.

Hellen Pethers Mar Dixon ☕️🎭🗿🏛❤️ Natural History Museum I don't know what success looks like, but if any of us ends our days with a fragment of the warmth and regard in which the museum community holds the wonderful, sadly departed Mar Dixon ☕️🎭🗿🏛❤️, it will have been a life well lived.

I have to say again how amazing Unsplash is for sharing images. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery hit 4 million downloads on March 2, 2024 since joining Dec 16, 2019. Lovely to see woman artist Beatrice Bright as most downloaded for Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery last month. Atlantic Rollers - people searching for choppy waters?
