@nadhimzahawi shame on you for even considering support for @BorisJohnson As a constituent I wish you to represent my view, which is no, no, never and no

@r_sklar @ShakespeareBT @AHewitt25 Thanks Roz, you were missed! Hope to catch up soon - we can't wait to show you how the virtualised @ShakespeareBT objects look in the room...

[Tara Hamling @TaraHamling]

Had so much fun today talking with early modern researchers about the first version of our Middling Culture virtual room reconstruction. Loads of great responses and suggestions. Thanks to everyone who came along!

[Middling Culture @MiddlingCulture]

Kicking off our second digital day with a great turn out! We’re running a drop-in to share our digital room reconstruction with researchers and those working on historic interiors. Can’t wait for another day of exciting discussions at NGX @NationalGallery

[Tara Hamling @TaraHamling]

Darn it!

[Middling Culture @MiddlingCulture]

Our digital room is almost complete (🤗) and we wanted to share some of the things we've learned along the way. So, we've created a guide on how to reconstruct an Elizabethan/Jacobean room in 8 (not so easy) steps:

This room is staggeringly immersive & also features ingenious creative expressions/responses from writers & performers.
This pilot day invites #earlymodern researchers to bring their questions/share their thoughts and play about with it in its first outing:

**Opportunity to road test our immersive digital parlour room**
What would you ask if stood where your research subjects wrote, socialised, or slept?
Bring your questions & thoughts on 8th Sep. to National Gallery X (places v. limited, so do book!):

Yes, thanks to @morley1640 for sharing expertise and dev early plans towards the virtual room which we've now been able to take further with @WealddownMuseum as part of @MiddlingCulture project. Great to remember those inspiring conversations

[Tara Hamling @TaraHamling]

This has given me much pleasure after a particularly difficult day. @EllaMcHawk you are a true master craftsperson! Wonderful to see @AHewitt25's research stimulating the creation of more decorative arts.

[Dr Ella Hawkins @EllaMcHawk]

How did Shakespeare decorate his home?

Here’s an edible snapshot of the patterns, textures, and materials that furnished the houses of the early modern English ‘upper middling sort’. 🍪
