Paper 1: Rina Arya offers thought-provoking auto-ethnographic insights into Hindu home shrines and explains many objects in British shrines come from the homeland rather than made in Britain... underscoring the entanglement of identity and religion. @RCHG_1

[Ciaran Toal @toalciaran]

@emmajmca @stmungomuseum @RCHG_1 He's always an inspirational speaker. Fantastic advocate.

[Dr Emma J McAlister @emmajmca]

Exciting to hear from Mark O'Neill - the pioneer of exploring religion in museums and part of the genesis of @stmungomuseum (opened in 1993) - talking about objects' use, meaning, cultural networks... beyond their aesthetics and craftmanship at the @RCHG_1 conference ✨

[Dr Emma J McAlister @emmajmca]

Paper 2: @LiesbethvanEs1 takes us on a tour of Museum Helmantel (north Groningen, the Netherlands) - private collection to public museum - home of artist Henk Helmantel. Van Es describes how Helmantel wanted objects for his paintings that had 'interesting lives' @RCHG_1

[Dr Emma J McAlister @emmajmca]

@LiesbethvanEs1 @RCHG_1 Museum Helmantel is on my list to visit! Especially with such an excellent and accomplished curator @LiesbethvanEs1 - fantastic descriptions of paintings 'you can hear the acoustics and feel the stones' lovely museum collection
