What a stunning museum the @AshmoleanMuseum is. Ceramics from 2000 bc 500 year old violins to ancient weapons from pre history. My daughter is going Worcester College Oxford University in the autumn so I reckon a few more visits is on the cards.

How do large historic museums with a legacy of colonialism begin to address the issue of repatriation? Hear different views & approaches in Kenneth Kirkwood Day 2025: Who Owns Museum Collections? And what should we do with them? Sat 29 March, 10.00-16.00. bit.ly/3QfisUJ

It’s January: time to cuddle up with someone you love, like this egret pair. In Japanese culture, egrets represent serenity and tranquility, a perfect metaphor for a cozy winter day.

Today you're being visited by the ghost of snowflakes past...
Let's step back in time to 1855, when James and Celia Glaisher captured the delicate beauty of over 150 snowflakes—proof that good things come in small packages.
