Great to talk to the @BBCTheOneShow about the work I do at the @I_W_M #ChurchillWarRooms to learn more about the women & men who worked at the site in #WW2 – at London, England
Did you know some of the big operational decisions made by Churchill in WW2 came from a secret government building?
@Joe_Crowley investigates a recently discovered letter which gives a glimpse into what life was like at the time.

July at the @TowerOfLondon - filming with the Ravenmaster, celebrating the new Medieval Palace exhibition and welcoming my sisters for a VIP behind-the-scenes tour. Such an amazing place to work 🏰 👑🐦⬛🤗

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the new exhibition “Showtime!” at the @DickensMuseum at last night’s launch event. It’s filled with amazing objects from the many stage & screen adaptations of Charles Dickens’s works & full of colour. Go see it!
It was a pleasure to be part of this live @CursedObjectsUK podcast recently, joining @lottelydia and Luke Turner to discuss ‘War, Memory and Tat’ with @KasiaTee & @danhancox - listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

A very enjoyable day working at #KensingtonPalace which included a tour of the magnificent King’s and Queen’s State Apartments 😍👑 @HRP_palaces
The display of nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies is now open @TowerOfLondon.
‘The Tower Remembers’ marks the 80th anniversary of the end of #WW2 as we commemorate all those who were lost in war.

I’ve curated many exhibitions but never thought I would be in one..!
Congrats to @KasiaTee & @danhancox for their @CursedObjectsUK exhibition about museum shops at the @peltzgallery. Some of the museum pens which I’ve been collecting since I was a child are featured. Go see it!

It was a pleasure to welcome Her Majesty the Queen to the Charles Dickens Museum, in celebration of our centenary year.
The Queen toured the historic rooms, met staff and volunteers and heard some readings by our patrons, Simon Callow and Miriam Margolyes.

Great to have finally attended the 'Churchill in Cartoons' exhibition at @I_W_M London, which I missed due to a recent bereavement. It's a triumph, @AllenPackwood @KHClem @katieculture - thank you for the opportunity to have seen your fab vision flourish! On until 23 Feb 2025 😊 – at Camberwell, London

We’re one week away from Charles Dickens’s birthday – and from the opening of our new exhibition!🥳
As a birthday treat, visitors can get a free slice of cake on the day (while supplies last). So, make sure to get your tickets for 7th February and celebrate with us!🎂
ALT Daguerrotype of Charles Dickens in profile, sporting a thick moustache, rather than a full beard. A drawing of a colourful party hat has been added to the image.
Thank you for visiting! And all your support 😊
Wonderful to see the 'Churchill in Cartoons' exhibition at @I_W_M at last. It was a pleasure to be on its advisory panel, as well as supporting the inclusion of this early cartoon of Churchill from 1917, on loan from @ChartwellNT. Hats off to all involved in its creation. 🎩✌️
#WinstonChurchill died #OnThisDay in 1965. This photo from @I_W_M's Collections, taken during his state funeral, appears with many others in a new book I authored, 'Winston Churchill: IWM Photography Collection'

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at the @DickensMuseum! Visiting last week got me into the festive spirit 🎄
Today marks 150 years since #Churchill was born. I spoke to @willhollis_tv about his legacy & the time he spent at the @I_W_M #ChurchillWarRooms during #WW2

Very much enjoyed welcoming guests to @I_W_M London yesterday evening for the private view of #Churchill in Cartoons - including several members of the Churchill family, who kindly loaned cartoons for the display. #Churchill150 ✌️
