Last week I was invited to assist with an MSt class for @ox.ac.uk Faculty of History at @morethanadodo.bsky.social to discuss working as a historian with natural history specimens #HistoryOfNaturalHistory #HistoryOfScience #MuseumResearch.

Crossroads of Research and Experience of Art (CREA, crea-workshop.com) 2025 will take place on December 19th at the Aesthetics & Learning Lab (IWM, Tübingen). This year’s theme: Learning in and from Museums. We will host interactive, practical exercises, and plenty of idea-sharing #MuseumResearch

Backstage at the V&A today getting to use this rather brilliant bit of kit for an exciting project with @linneansociety. More on that another time. 🩻
(OK, didn’t actually get to use the kit, the excellent Sarah at the V&A did that).
