These portraits of Egyptian dead at @McrMuseum always astonish me. I remember being taught in art class at school that such work didn’t really exist until the Renaissance. Clearly we so often shape our history into such narrow viewpoints.

Great piece by @chiggi on cultural restitution & the UK museum sector
Wonderful examples from @McrMuseum @ward_esme focussing on the "care" in "curatorship", strengthening support for local communities & relationships with Aboriginal collections abroad.
