Keskiviikkona projektitiimi kokousti, jonka jälkeen vierailimme Apteekkimuseossa. Turun jokirannassa sijaitseva museo ihastutti sisustuksellaan, vanhoilla apteekkarin tarvikkeillaan (joilla on yhtymäkohtia alkemian kanssa) ja elohopeanäyttelyllään #titaraproject #koneensäätiö #turunmuseokeskus

On Wednesday the project team met to discuss plans for the upcoming summer and fall. Afterwards we visited the Pharmacy museum. The riverside museum charmed us with its historical decor, pharmacy equipment (some related to alchemy) and exhibition on mercury. #titaraproject #konefoundation

Sara's long research visit to England is coming to an end. The past couple of weeks in Cambridge have been less hectic than Oxford, but full nonetheless: 16 manuscripts at the University Library & Trinity College's Wren Library (pictured in all its spring beauty). 1/ #titaraproject #konefoundation

From one library to another: Sara's been busy at the Bodleian, but she spent the past couple of days at a writing retreat in Gladstone's Library, North Wales - a library where you can stay the night! This gallery was the perfect place to focus on writing deadlines. #titaraproject #konefoundation
