It's #BratSummer and suddenly we're seeing brat green everywhere we look! Even in our collections 👀💚

We are visiting Paris with Maureen Binnie for this week's @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange theme of #Paris - we love the evocative shadows and clean lines of 'Wintry Sun, Paris' (1983)!

With the Olympics and sport on many people's minds and TVs, we give you this rather natty looking football team from the late 19th Century. The photo is from our Duncan Brown collection, if you recognise any ancestors then let us know! @GSofA DB/088 #football #fitba #Olympics

It's #InternationalTigerDay! The tiger is a beloved motif of artists & designers. This tiger from our plaster cast collection was cast from the temple of Antoninus and Faustina in Rome. If you're on campus, see if you can spot her on the 3rd floor of the Stow Building...👀🐅
