This is a very common scenario: a private museum closing because its owner wants to retire, with the collection going to auction.

Our first exhibition, Cursed Objects in Museum Shops, runs until 26 June, so get down to Bloomsbury while you can! It's FREE, 10am-8pm, Mon-Fri, at the Peltz Gallery. All details here: www.cursedobjects.co.uk/events/mp1jq...

Periodic reminder there is an entire range of daft shit available from my shop: spellingmistakescostlives.com/shop

...then on 11 June, joining the good people of the @cursedobjectsuk.bsky.social Podcast to discuss WAR TAT and our cultural memory of 1939 to 1949 with @lottelydia.bsky.social and Kate Clements. Key object for me – the Tank Museum's soft toy Panzerfaust here. Tickets: www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event...

Thames through Time is back in Birkbeck, but the MA Archaeology & Heritage student Christopher Snary @bbkhistorical.bsky.social only brought in a scaled model of the Thames historical dockyards that he has made! Archaeology and model-making, it’s important!!

Well done to the BBC for quoting Tory headbanger Susan Hall on Notting Hill Carnival here, with absolutely zero clue / context about how she despises carnival and everything it stands for www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have absolutely loved all the reactions to this: from Poles in Britain, Poles in Poland, Poles in other parts of the world, first-generation migrants, second-generation migrants, British fans of polski skleps, East Europeans who use them...

Loved this.
