We’ve only managed to get the legend that is Peter Stevens to come and share his wit and wisdom at the @BMMuseum on Monday the 14th April.

It’s going to be a great night. It’s all for charity, and we’ll keep you entertained for hours.

Please share and let’s sell this out.

#Crufts is on at the moment and we thought it was very fitting to share this #Photograph from our #Archive of a #Dachshund hanging out in a Mini-Minor. Not sure how well this little sausage would rank in the show, but we think he or she is #Cute! 🐶🐾

It's #WorldBookDay and we thought we'd feature an item from our #Book collection: 'How to Drive a #Motorcar', which covers many subjects from driver etiquette, lady drivers, mud splashing, when not to use the horn and the risks of driving at night. 📖👩📯😴

#Jaguar owners and enthusiasts will be getting together for the #JaguarBreakfastClub at the #Museum tomorrow to display their cars. And from our own #Archive collection is this #Photograph of a splendid looking Jaguar XK150! 🍳🥓🍽️

Half-term at the #Museum has been focusing on all things technical, so in keeping with that theme today's #Photograph from our #Archive features a #LandRover Testbook, a notebook computer that served as a diagnostic tool for technicians. 👨‍💻🧰

#Love is in the air for #ValentinesDay and while we were looking for a #Photograph in our #Archive to use today, we weren't expecting to find this image of a #Tattoo! Whoever "Beryl" was, we hope she was a lucky lady to have such a devoted fella. ❤️👩‍❤️‍👨
