Shout out to all the @Conservators_UK behind the #coronation : heck of a lot of textile, metalwork, books, chairs, ermine, jewels, stone and incredible decorative objects on show today. Some ancient. All on top form ✨👑
@AJulerCons@KloeRumsey Definitely! I haven't hated the forms so much as the word count - explain your complex project (with details) on one side of A4.
