Looks amazing! This should be the benchmark for all #livinghistory #heritageinterpretation. Anyone wearing a tunic over their modern clothes should be hung, drawn and very, very quartered.
Such a treat for medievalists at #IMC2025 - a fashion show by Tanya Bentham. So wonderful to see these costumes in real life 🥰

Visiting the new V&A Storehouse in London this weekend was like walking into an IKEA-Style cabinet of curiosities. They never cease to be innovate or experimental. While challenging for traditional museologists it's definitely worth a wander. #museumcollections #creativity @V&A

The Céide Fields, Co. Mayo, the world's largest enclosed field system (farm), is removed from #UNESCO list due to lack of public support. A disappointing outcome for Mayo and shows that communicaties are central to sustainable heritage protection. @OPW

Céide Fields ditched as possible World Heritage Site ‘due to lack of public support’
The Céide Fields, one of the most important and extensive Stone Age monuments in the world, was ditched as a possible World Heritage Site due to a “lack of public support”.

Had a WOW moment this week while working in Tipperary. This huge Anglo-Norman Motte & Bailey at Knockgraffon dominates the landscape just outside Tipp town. No photo shows the true scale this 1770-80s drawing by Beranger today which helps! #yearofthenormans2027 maps.app.goo.gl/dmAuv85hzYVS...
