I've just been to watch 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' at the cinema. The most difficult, most harrowing, and most important film I've ever watched, bar none.

Charming open-the-flap cover of 1950 guide to Kew.
The wintery scene in the Palm House transforms to summer and a view of the Pagoda when the door opens. Truly, a garden for all seasons!

A Bluesky challenge!

We've got so many great heritage/GLAM accounts here now, that some are flying under the radar

From national organisations to niche collections, these active accounts are all (at time of posting) under 500 followers-lowest at 9-how many can we get over 500?

✨This book was once owned by Jane Austen! ✨

There are very few books that Jane Austen is known to have owned, making this one at the UL incredibly special. We're delighted to show it to you today, on her 250th birthday!
