Our new exhibition ‘Showtime!’ at the #CharlesDickensMuseum has now been open a week! 🙌 Time for some instal reminiscing #exhibition #theatre #adaptations

Visited the only free #museum in #Vienna. 1. Inn sign, about 1700-50. #Hedgehogs were common inn signs, likely due to folk tales of them feeding grapes to their young. 2. Fanny Elbler’s mechanical wings from her role as the lead in the #ballet ‘Sylphide’, 1840.

Really love the way the #PostalMuseum has tried to decode archival documents for visitors in their new exhibition ‘Voices of Resistance: Slavery & Post in the Caribbean’
