Must-listen (we have quite a Nur Jahan fan club Manchester Museum) .. Nur Jahan - the only Mughal woman to have coins issued in her name. Her story and these beautiful coins greet you as you enter the South Asia Gallery Nusrat

Great lecture by Sam Alberti NMS Collections exploring knowledge creation and ways of knowing in the museum, drawing on the legacy and work of John Pickstone. I hadn’t expected to hear about weak jawed squirrels in Formby either 😉

Can we stop calling National Museum Wales ‘an attraction’. We are not at risk of losing a theme park here. We are at risk of losing an institution that offers free education to millions of people and showcases Welsh culture and the National Treasures of Wales to the world.

Desperately sad news.
Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context.
Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them.

Reminded how beautiful the Northumbrian coast is after a weekend of big sands, windy blue skies, castles and kippers. Bloody great.

A bit emotional as I say goodbye to Manchester Museum, which closes on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who visited, commented and questioned. I've learned a lot and will take time to reflect on the experience. 🙏💛✨

The wonderful Orla entered our lives a month ago… bringing more laughter, love and odd chewed socks than I could have ever imagined. Dogs are amazing, aren’t they?
