Substantial morning walk today as @rowe_martinr insisted on finding an early medieval inscribed stone 😉Fuelled by coffee and pastries and located by my excellent map reading.
As well as designing the Lunar Legacies exhibition the fab @davewcreative is also responsible for the @LunarSoc Birmingham Heritage Trail. Copies are available (free) from @LibraryofBham information desk!
As you may have noticed we love John Russell’s 1795 pastel drawing of the moon! Russell drew the pastel from life, using a telescope borrowed from his friend, the famous astronomer William Herschel! The original work is in the collections of @BM_AG
Delighted that the @LunarSoc ‘Lunar Legacies’ exhibition at @LibraryofBham has been extended for another month until 31st May. Well worth a look if you are in town! @HeritageBham @HeritageFundM_E
