Making the most of @BM_AG at the weekend - obsessed with the multicoloured layers of thick paint used by Pissarro 🟣🔵🟢🟡🟠🔴

[mhacater @mhacater]

First trip ever to @brumhippodrome and I’m onstage! Lots of thoughts about #VanGoghAliveUK - does music encourage or coerce us into understanding what an artwork ‘should’ mean? Either way such an atmospheric experience and would recommend! @VanGoghAliveUK 🌻

[Museum of Royal Worcester @TheMoRW]

We're excited! Join us from 2pm TODAY over on #FacebookLive for a chat with @FuchsiaHart, Curator of our 'Worcester porcelain and the Arts of Islam' display. @IslamSSN @IslamicArtsMag @IslamicWhatsOn https://t.co/BZUkh9EKj2

Such a great trip to @TheMoRW at the weekend - very interesting and accessible interpretation and labelling which opened my eyes to the world of ceramics! 🍵🍶🧑🏽‍🎨

First trip back to @ikongallery in months! Krištof Kintera did not disappoint - managed to capture our frazzled and buzzing modern life, but left with a feeling of hope 💡🦋

[Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery @BM_AG]

We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Sara Wajid and Zak Mensah as joint CEOs of Birmingham Museums Trust and we look forward to welcoming them in November.

#SightsofWonder launched three months ago!

In one of the few photographs from the 1862 royal tour to feature people who haven't been posed by Francis Bedford, you can see people and donkey 'ghosts' - where they have moved around in the busy square. 👀

Obsessed with #Titian and the way he paints flesh, it’s also so refreshing to see some depiction of a more realistic female body. Some of my favourite details below! @NationalGallery

Really enjoyed researching and recording this! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

A quick snap?⚡️ In 1862, not so much.

Photography was still a new, fiddly & challenging process; Bedford's method was invented only a decade before the royal tour.

[sara wajid @waji35]

Birmingham employs the most BAME museum workers in the UK, supported careers of leaders like me. Job losses here will have massive impact for sector diversity. Time to mobilise. https://t.co/xlXzCReXbC

[Ruth Millington @ruth_millington]

Shocked we didn't receive more of the emergency funds, esp as Birmingham is the UK's Second City

[The Barber Institute @BarberInstitute]

How can we look at this photograph through a post-colonial lens?

#SightsofWonder shows us how the British viewed themselves in 1862, and how these sites were perceived by the Victorians.

Such a treat to visit #PicassoandPaper at the @royalacademy this weekend. A much needed chance to stop and look amidst all the current chaos 🎨

[Elle Rudd @ElleRudd_]

I wrote about my beloved Birmingham and Black Country and why everyone needs to stop looking down on it.

On 14 June 1862, the young Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) returned from his 4-month tour of the Middle East. See photographs taken by Francis Bedford, the first photographer to accompany a royal tour in an online exhibition @barberinstitute here: https://t.co/KG5oMWJIQv
