Perfect pocket-sized exhibition @royalacademy focussing on just one year - 1504 - when three great artists fought to catch the gaze of power. Old art made fresh and vital #RAMichelangeloLeonardoRaphael Opens Saturday.
Staircases of @museecarnavalet #Paris. Could have spent all day just wandering up and down them.

This is wonderful. I teach travel writing and some questions we explore include: who gets to write about the travel? Whose accounts are valued? How does this impact our knowledge/understanding of the world? What/who is left out? Why? How? So thank you for this perfect example🙏🏽

Dear @StanfordsTravel Could you manage to squeeze a couple of women writers on to your esteemed pile (Morris excepted). Thanks.

The Paris effect. Surely your modest high street @hm doesn’t look like this anywhere else. Pure gorgeous.

Who’d have thought it’s important to read a book about women in a small country with an incomprehensible word in the title. But @elizajreid #SecretsOfTheSprakkar illuminates not only #Iceland, but offers gentle lessons on how to make the world a better place for women everywhere.

95 year old Yayoi Kusama has done it again. Her giant pumpkin for @SerpentineUK is a splash of unexpected fun even on grey London day. More outdoor art like this please, to stop us in our busy tracks and make us smile and wonder.

No better place to rehearse than #AmazingAchill. Getting ready for our @circus250 Daring Dames Festival this weekend.
Walking @TheLineLondon in East London for the first time. Seeing the capital from a new angle
The irony that’s #Iceland. Walk along any street and you’ll be the only pedestrian (below Selfoss, largest town on the South Coast). But go to a natural wonder in the middle of nowhere - the foot of a glacier or the crown of a crater (like Kerid below) - and it’s mobbed.
Only in Iceland. Small town Höfn has a trail of exercises benches. Sit and stretch. Municipal responsibility and commitment to everyone’s wellbeing. – at Iceland

Oh @ShowtownBPL @visitBlackpool not even your new wonders can rival those of Blackpool town itself. My thoughts on Britain's first museum of popular culture spectator.co.uk/article/at-l…
Only in #Blackpool. You’re never alone at the new @ShowtownBPL museum. A cubicle made for couples.
