Fabulous new object of wonder installed at the Tower of London this week - the 1100s Valasse cross, once owned by Empress Matilda - it is just stunning.

Leighton House, Holland Park - sumptuousness & a peacock 🦚

A timely sunburst on a grey February day at the Tower.

Two Temple Place - def worth a visit to see Lives Less Ordinary exhibition

All the candles at Southwark Cathedral today.

And Hodge the cat.

Sunlight pouring into the Tower today

And @britishlibrary.bsky.social Medieval Women exhibition is super rich & entertaining too. Another joy - particularly the Tower's lion skull.

Loved everything about Tirzah Garwood @dulwichgallery.bsky.social - paintings, prints, textiles, marbled paper but best of all - her box-framed miniature houses - just a pure delight

Kensington Palace's excellent staircase 💖

The Palace is closed to visitors for the next few weeks to deinstall - leaving spaces majestically clear.

V&A today

Dennis Severs' House, Spitalfields - always fabulous but currently with a beautiful exhibition of ceramics by Simon Pettet

I found this today - me as a baby museum curator in 1999 🤩

I thought no images of early me at work existed (this was pre mobile cameras everywhere) but here I am, dusting the folk art foot warmer at Haslemere Museum as if I know Instagram is just around the corner...

Today at work was all about Freddie Mercury's jeans 🤩

Straight from Sotheby's to display Queer Britain Museum for Levi's 'Icons in Denim' exhibition.

A fancy B.

Seen last week at the Library of San Marco in Florence, the oldest public library in the world. Apparently.

Cupboard door in the painted Parrot Room of Palazzo Davanzati in Florence.
