Wonderful visit to the @HornimanMuseum today with @EarlRussellLD seeing behind the scenes and hearing about their world leading research and exhibition and collection plans. Well worth a visit.

Particular shout-out to the #RandallMuseum, a fantastic kid-focused little natural history museum hidden in a hilltop park near the Castro. Found it entirely by accident -- reminded me of the #HornimanMuseum in London (but with bonus model railway exhibit).

#onthisday, 29 June 1885, London's #EarlsCourt #TurkishBaths opened opposite the station. Designed for owner Mary Ann Thomas by Charles Harrison Townsend, later to design the #HornimanMuseum. 3 hot rooms, cooling-room, plunge, shampooing, &c. Closed after damage during the 1941 Blitz. +ALT 🗃️ #C19th
Typographic advertisement in the Richmond Herald (11 Sep 1886) promoting Turkish baths for perfect cleanliness, to preserve health, prevent disease, and cure the sick. Quotations from Erasmus Wilson and Dr John Le Gay Brereton. The baths were open from 8.00 am till 10.00 pm on weekdays and till 11.00 am on Sundays. Women's days were initially on Tuesdays and Fridays, though in 1888, separate women's baths were added. In 1903 the baths were bought by Archibald Reynolds James who, some time around 1927 published a booklet about, and illustrating, the baths. It is not known how accurate the published images are, and James was probably romanticising his venture somewhat. Sketch  of the women's cooling room with resting cubicles on the left. A woman is leaning on a balustrade probably overlooking an area of the baths on a lower floor. There's a stained glass panelled door on the right and a curtained area which might have been for shampooing, or alternately just for dressing and undressing. Photograph from the booklet showing an electric treatment room with a somewhat disturbing array of electrical devices including an electric bath.

Visiting the #HornimanMuseum
in South London: interesting exhibitions and beautiful gardens
Mbendjele people of the Congo region are members of a vast hunter-gatherer civilisation that has existed in the central African rainforest for 40,000 years. This is a civilisation with no leaders, grand buildings or poverty. They believe that living a happy and fulfilled life can only happen when everyone is equal. There is no word for 'famine' in their language because the forest provides them with everything they need.
