#britishmuseum #photography has an important role in @britishmuseum. Roger Fenton, employed in 1857, took some of the earliest photos in the building & another photographer, Frederick York, did a photo survey in 1875. You can read my blog here: blog.britishmuseum.org/photo…

Amazing work by our #conservation expert, Luigina Antonazzo! She flattened photographs of #Architecture in #Italy from the Eugénie Strong collection. Before/after difference is astonishing (see below)

And the Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
(P. B. Shelley, 'The Sensitive Plant’)
Our museum is open Monday-Saturday 10-6pm.
