Can you spot William? He's hiding at the bottom of our amazing Witcombe cabinet, which dates from about 1697!

Meet the Holburne's newest resident, William.

This cheeky elf is spending December exploring all the Holburne Museum has to offer. Though, he does hide away once our visitors arrive...

William really liked our new long-term loan from contemporary artist Thomas J Price. Part of the 'Numen' series, this bust and two others will be on display for the next three years.

The start of another week and William has been people-watching out the Ballroom window, looking down Great Pulteney Street. He also liked Chila Burman's 'Glowing Canopies' installation on the front of the building 💡
