Have you seen Lina Iris Viktor’s spectacular works in the Museum’s Crypt? 😍

These new presences, reflections on Soane’s use of darkness in this atmospheric space as a meditation on mortality, are part of our #MythicTime exhibition, on until January. ✨

Bangladeshi journalists faced so much violence and so many threats - many were killed- during the protest movement. And yet they persisted, sometimes using clever ways of getting the message out. Hats off to the brave journalists of Bangladesh! (You know who you are)

“I have been crippled. I have become a burden to my family!” Zakir Shikder, 27, had to have his leg amputated after being shot during the Bangladesh protests.

🚨🚨Bangladesh: Media reports state that security forces have been raiding neighbourhoods and conducting mass arrests, targeting students and opposition activists. Whereabouts of some of those arrested are unknown. Several student leaders have been arrested from the hospital where they were being treated for injuries.

In a virtual press conference held yesterday, a coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement alleged that over 3,500 students have been detained across the country.

Amnesty International urges the authorities to immediately stop the blanket hunt for students and opposition members.

Peaceful protest is not a crime.

Opening soon, a new exhibition – Lina Iris Viktor: Mythic Time / Tens of Thousands of Rememberings! 🎨

Lina’s sculpture, painting, gilding and photography mirrors Soane’s own eclecticism, combining influences from ancient world cultures.

Let us introduce you to an easily-missed marvel of the Soane! 🐊🏹

This sculpture of the Hindu Deities Kamadeva and Rati atop a crocodile offers so many stories – from the fascinations of the Georgian art world, to the intersection of imagery across ancient cultures. 🏛️🖼️

Humans – and dogs, hats and umbrellas – have often featured in architectural drawings. You may wonder why, writes William Aslet, but the best architecture has always been about the people

@IKEAUKSupport I will do and thank you for your prompt reply

Hello @IKEAUK how do I speak to someone about being overcharged in the Croydon branch? I’ve tried email feedback and Instagram message so far. No reply. Keen to get a refund. Many thanks!

Here’s the Soane from an angle you’ve never seen before! 🔍 After our neighbourhood crows got a direct hit on a panel of stained glass, abseiling experts were needed to drop off the back of the Museum, assess the damage and fit a custom-made replacement. Sorted! 👏
