A very civilised start to the morning at the #DisplayingTheBM Conference - looking forward to this!

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home... 👏🏻🙌🏻 This is such a small amount of money in the scheme of the UK budget, but will have such a vast impact across the country - brilliant news!

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke... Genuinely an uplifting story. Shame the #ICC can't face the facts and do the right thing.

Great interview with Hew Locke in the @museumsassociation.org this morning. I absolutely love "What have we here?" (biased opinion, obviously!) - last weekend coming up! www.museumsassociation.org/museums-jour...

Just turned over for #PotteryThrowdown, and I'm being treated to Mysteries of the Sinkhole. Obviously. 🤔

And we wonder why diversity is an issue? You can't live in London on this salary unless you have someone else to subsidise you.

Jesus Christ. This is just beyond the pale. #FundHeritageNow

At the risk of screaming into the void, you could quite literally DOUBLE funding to the arts and heritage sector, and it's essentially a rounding error in the budget. It would make an enormous difference, at basically zero cost. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#Culture in the UK is in serious trouble. Underfunded, relying on the goodwill of #underpaid staff and volunteers to function on a basic level. Its not that people don't want to do the work, it's that we can't afford to. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Living for the #Louvre drama at the moment. One thing that leapt out to me - charging non-EU visitors more for admission. This model seems to be becoming more popular - The Met charge out of towners more as well. Could it be taken up in the UK? #museums #culture news.artnet.com/art-world/em...

This is a national scandal. When will the government wake up and realise they are presiding over the rapid implosion of the UK's world-renowned university sector?

Meanwhile, our #universities are gutting arts and humanities courses due to lack of #funding. #Culture has one of the best ROIs of any sector, we should be investing in it.

news.artnet.com/art-world/it... I feel like there's a couple of hurdles to this. Also, apparently just Mona Lisa's room will cost €400 million to renovate on its own?

www.theguardian.com/culture/2025... Again, the #Louvre stands as an example for a lot of large museums... I'd love for similar interviews to be conducted at the British Museum, for example. Culture venues are straining at the seams, something needs to give.

Ooft, love a bit of #potterythrowdown on a Sunday night. Especially on Raku week - it looks like brilliant fun!

#NUFC Come on lads, we need a response after last week. I'm banished to the spare room, the main TV is showing Ross County Vs #Hibs. In this house, we do not tolerate Glory Hunters. #HTL #GGTTH

This is a high profile example, but I dare say every single museum could have a very similar letter written about it. The lack of funding for very "unsexy" infrastructure is absolutely chronic. news.artnet.com/art-world/lo...

This is far from an original thought. But this month has lasted approximately 5 years, right?

Do not fucking do this, do not open your phone for the police, you will be giving them the right to look at everything on your phone.

Loved hearing @k8lister.bsky.social discuss Dinosaur Sex on #BetwixtTheSheets this morning. I sort of want a job where I can just mash dinosaur toys together to check on positions "for research" 😂

I'm not saying I'm running low on brain power, but I just had to watch a YouTube video to figure out how to open my new face cleanser 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ah, Mr Bean. No word of a lie, this is what sparked my interest in conservation. It's also why I'm a preventive conservator - zero artistic ability!
