Last chance to see these incredible Haida Chilkat and Nuu-chah-nulth cedar bark blankets (pre-1860s) on display in the North America gallery @britishmuseum for a while. From Monday they’ll be removed from display to rest.
(Stay tuned for what’s coming!)

Such a privilege to host Chumash guests at the @britishmuseum for 4 days for a project returning identity and agency to cultural belongings. So grateful for and inspired by the incredible cultural and ethnobotanical knowledge shared

I’ve had an amazing time in Los Angeles installing a Chumash hat from the @britishmuseum’s collection to the @TheAutry Reclaiming El Camino exhibition. Such a privilege to be part of welcoming the hat home.
Looking forward to speaking on this panel later

@AskTSA Thanks! What about flights from the UK to the US?

[Rose Yavneh Taylor @anthroRo]

@AskTSA for international flights can I pack a portable/handheld steamer (empty of water) in my checked suitcase or carry on only?
2) do electronic hair styling devices go in hand luggage or checked bags? Thanks!

Really enjoyed @NationalGallery’s “After Impressionism - Inventing Modern Art”. Some stunning works and many from private collections so don’t miss seeing them! The exhibition journeys through 1886-1914 Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Vienna & Berlin exploring the roots of #Modernism

[Rose Yavneh Taylor @anthroRo]

Gorgeous works in the Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance exhibition at the @V_and_A
The amazing collection in the exhibition explores Donatello’s work, his contemporaries & those he influenced. The detail & skill is stunning, overall an emotive exhibition. Get me to Florence!

Big shoutout to a waiter at @Dishoom Covent Garden last night. I asked if there was menu option without calories showing and he came back with this. So sweet, thank you 🙏🏼
Could then enjoy our feast in peace without the looming calorie guilt

Today I am 5 x 365 days past the traffic lights - the metaphor of death and time passing that resonated the most for me. 5 years since dad died. So many emotions & can’t believe it has been 5 years. Still angry at how cruel cancer is.
