[Lilla Russell-Smith @LillaBRS]

All Museum für Asiatische Kunst exhibitions are at last completely open! A second Silk Road Gallery around the reconstructed Kizil Cave 123, Himalayan art and Southeast Asian Art opened to the public today together with new areas of the Ethnological Museum https://t.co/kVnPF99TJ4

@LitteraCarolina Just a note, but Fountains Abbey is in the centre of England, quite a way from the coast, so the sealskin would have had a reasonably long journey from wherever it was sourced. I would guess from the east cost, perhaps from the area around Whitby Abbey.

[Chris Grey 🇺🇦 @chrisgreybrexit]

Brexiters now worry about the judgment of history. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog analyses the recent spate of Brexiter anxiety about Brexit realities, the conundrum this poses for Johnson, and why it matters so much to Brexiters - and to all of us: https://t.co/bPLJB5VhRh
