Taking your government-approved daily walk when none of you have bothered getting dressed for at least ten days 💃
@OldOpTheatre @ChertseyMuseum @RoystonMuseum @Royal_Armouries @romanpalace @mediamuseum @CrawleyMuseum @DorsetArchives @SurreyHeritage @NHM_London @LeedsMuseums @MuseumoftheHome We tried to stay neutral but we can't say no to a sad bunny. Sorry @natlibscot, we really love your beast too!
We know it's hard to #KeepCalm at the moment which is why we've been searching our collections for soothing images. We hope these beautiful portrayals of calm waters will help you weather the mental storms of our current situation.
Here's another still life recreation, 'Marigolds' by John Parker RWS (https://t.co/lk73rfTGhA), 1877. Not sure that the flowers in the real-life still life are marigolds but a bit of licence is permitted!
5. 'Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart' by Alice Havers (1850-1890), c. 1888
This is 'The Life Room (Norwich Art School)' by John Wonnacott. He taught at the Art School 1978-86 and with fellow artist John Lessore established the Life Room in the St Georges Building, now @NorwichUniArts, to promote drawing from life in the teaching of art.
Thanks to organisations like @ProudCanaries, the importance of the LGBT+ community within football is finally being recognised & LGBT-phobia in the terraces is being tackled head on. (2/3)
We hope you're all surviving #StormCiara - it's looking a little damp out there again this afternoon! Stormy seas have provided inspiration for a number of artists in our collection. Here are some of our favourites (including one after the storm which is a bit more reassuring.)
Plesiosaurs were long-necked marine reptiles that disappeared alongside the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. This Jurassic Plesiosaur flipper is 150-155 million years old! The flipper would have helped our creature to practically 'fly' through the water.
We love dinosaurs, but not as much as Alice Bolingbroke Woodward who painted this charming watercolour. We think she would definitely have enjoyed #NationalDrawADinosaurDay – and would have been first in the queue to see #DippyOnTour when he arrives @NorwichCathedral this summer!
