Fascinating and terrifying at the same time- spent today learning all about #asbestos in relation to #museum collections @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social #asbestosawareness

Lucky enough to be at the opening of this exhibition at Queen's Gallery, Holyrood Palace. Fascinating overview of photographic techniques over the last century. Would have benefitted from more photographs in Scotland and some imagery or artefacts of the cameras they used at the time

Have I missed #caturday?? Here's mine 🤩

Fabulous to see Rhynie highlighted as one of the key places in the #SilkRoads exhibition @northernpicts.bsky.social #BritishMuseum

Fabulous to see the Silk Roads exhibition at the British #Museum - incredible artefacts conveying a brilliantly complex story in an accessible manner
