A sublime new exhibition ā¦British Libraryā© on the #SilkRoadOasis Dunhuang & the Mogao caves. Extraordinary treasures from the famous Cave 17 which was home to 70,000 manuscripts and more written information about medieval Asia (and beyond) than any site in the world.

A treat to be at the launch of Furnace Fruit exhibition last night - a body of work by Karanjit Panesar inspired by the stories of Punjabi workers in British foundries. Itās the second Collections in Dialogue artist commission from British Library and Leeds Art Gallery.


Also in this weekās Yorkshire adventures: lovely sunsets, aesthetically pleasing tea (not pictured: less aesthetically pleasing videocall over said tea), and Tracy_Chevalierās latest novel which Iām very excited about.





Some truly amazing collections on display, so many interesting (and still relatable, centuries onā¦) stories in their own words indeed - Medieval Women exhibition opens tomorrow at British Library! Oh, and *fantastic* exhibition book too š
