"We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum where it belongs." - Lisa Nandy MP

We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to reverse years of decline.

Between you and I, Paris Musées have 372,542 rights-free images you can simply download, at hi-res, and use as you choose. Isn’t that just brilliant and please can UK institutions emulate them?

It's 1811. You've been caught stealing some beans and you're dragged up in front of the magistrate's court. You want the Justice of the Peace to be fair, sympathetic, and focused on your case. You glance at his casebook and he's doodling the other officials.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Blown away by the beauty of this cave lion!

On to-do list: visit the remarkable Landesmuseum Württemberg @almbawue.bsky.social !

Visiting the Landesmuseum Württemberg today, my old stumping grounds. The archaeological collections are exceptional, one of the many highlights: The head of a cave lion carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. Tiny (H. 2.1cm) but truly remarkable. From the Vogelherd Cave/Swabian Jura
