So happy I got to see Hew Locke’s “What have we here” at the British Museum today before it closes on 8th Feb. I especially loved these Watchers, observing us visitors, and “flipping the script” (in Locke’s words!) of who has power and perspective in the museum space.

Interesting long read in today’s Guardian on the “omni-crisis” at the British Museum:
‘The ghosts are everywhere’: can the British Museum survive its omni-crisis?
Beset by colonial controversy, difficult finances and the discovery of a thief on the inside, Britain’s most visited museum is in deep trouble. Can it restore its reputation?
