Over the moon to see my PhD research taking the shape of an exhibition at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery! I own deep thanks to my advisors, @sysgak & Kate Smith, for their invaluable guidance. 'Dryad Basketry: A Global Collection' runs until 9 March 2025

Question for #history#provenance corners of this app: is The Ladies’ Field magazine digitised anywhere? Little luck with the usual repositories. Ran 1898-1922, but looking particularly for 1900-1905. TIA!
I’m so excited to share @CarolineLawrenc’s latest creation, Pantheon (with @Octopus_Books), which I had the pleasure of illustrating!! 🏺🌿
Over 70 illustrations are packed in here, including deity busts based on my Roman gods series, but updated to be even better 🧡
I am so, so, SO thrilled to have puffs from some of the Classicists I most admire in the whole world: @officialnhaynes@holland_tom @EmilyRCWilson & #PaulCartledge! Classicists are incredibly generous.🥰 #Pantheon is out 12 Sept 2024. Pre-order here: https://t.co/fNC9qND6YO
Finally visited @WallingtonNt and its incredible collections! My unexpected favourite has to be the tiniest glimpses of China in the dollhouse room. Spy the rugs made out of sleeve bands, and the very miniature Eight Immortals (?) on the mantelpiece
The full recording of my February online event 'Buying Power' with @SamiraAhmedUK and @NtlMuseumsScot is now available to watch
Some great films and discussion about archaeology, the antiquities market and museums online for FREE!

I am excited to share that the V&A is offering a Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) placement that responds directly to the growing research interest in Ukrainian cultural heritage.
This placement will directly support the V&A's efforts to ensure that Ukrainian cultural heritage is accurately understood and appropriately interpreted.

Loved the poetry session inspired by animals in the gallery and performances by the Chinese orchestra of students of UCL! 🎶 A refreshing format which fully embraces ‘time’ in its many meanings, and of the auditory sense; a clock ticks afterall!
Saw the glittering Zimingzhong exhibition at the @sciencemuseum and joined the Grand Yaji symposium, part of the Communicating Time & Culture project. Grateful for the chance to give a quick talk (and glean interesting insights) on the astronomical clock here at @DU_Collections.
Hello #numismatics Twitter, can anyone suggest any works on the history of the dealers Rollin and Feuardent and A H Baldwin and Sons? Especially for the 1880-1920s. Thanks!
My first publication! Kudos to our team @tulliafraser & Benjamin Chiesa! We began this research in 2021 into an early, unreported Hong Kong archaeological collection housed in UMAG, @HKUniversity. Read it on the Journal of the History of Collections: https://t.co/oGl0PPExKL (1/4)
What HK story was told 100 years ago? Based on HK’s participation in London’s British Empire Exhibitions in 1924 and 1925, Dr Gary Wong revisits the representations of HK in the interwar years.
Date of release: 2pm (UKT) / 9pm (HKT), 10 May 2024 (Friday)

A curatorial exercise undertaken 3 years ago continues to fascinate us today. We hope to have demonstrated the rich potentials of challenging an ‘orphaned’ status and conducting collections-based research/detective work into underreported museum collections. Our work continues.
