We're getting ready for the #ChristmasChallenge - but how are donations doubled?
It's all down to match funding. When you donate through a Big Give campaign, the Big Give asks funders (philanthropists, foundations or corporates) to match that donation. So £50 from you becomes £100 for a good cause.

Today is #NationalIllustrationDay2025 and we're sharing two illustrations in our collection by the same person — Robert Cruikshank.
Robert Cruikshank was part of a family of illustrators, alongside his father Robert and his brother George, though he was probably the least famous of the lot.

Here's more photos from the archive, of the Museum during salvage of the building in the 1970s.
By this point, around 1975-6, the piazza had been cleared of rubble and a collapsed wall rebuilt.
But there's no roof! It's cold enough in winter without having to contend with that...

The weather in London has definitely turned very wintery over the last few days... so an especial well done to our Learning & Engagement Producer Gabriella, and Director Katherine, who spent much of yesterday outside filming for our Big Give #ChristmasChallenge video - coming soon!

Exciting to learn more about these objects — especially while we've got Mary Brunel's fan on display as part of our French Revolution Season, thanks to conservation by the Fan Museum.

The Brunel Museum as you might have never seen it!
Take a look back at the 1970s, when a huge amount of work had to be done to clear debris, install a new roof, fix broken windows, reconstruct collapsed walls and ensure the site was safe.
Impressive work!
