The most popular artwork in @BM_AG? It was certainly the Birmingham Museums World Cup Winner this April!
So given the love for The Travelling Companions, we thought we'd make it a facemask to buy from our shop!

Faith, Hope and Charity - absolutely what we all need right now! ♥️
Studio of Francesco Albani, 1578-1660.
Wind in the Tree Tops by Christopher R. W. Nevinson seems the perfect art work for #MuseumsUnlocked today, and for the windy weather we've been having!
The #CURATORBATTLE theme today is #BestMuseumBum, definitely the hashtag to follow today! Sadly we don't know the name of this model, posing as a sculptor for a study by Ford Madox Brown in 1847. I wonder what he'd think if he knew we would be staring at his bum 173 yrs later!
The Birmingham Horse Fair by David Cox, 1841-1849. At a time when horses were still so essential for work and travel, this would have been very busy!
In her recent live talk for @NewarkMuseum on the #PreRaphaelites curator Victoria Osborne mentioned Saint Cecilia by Dante Gabriel Rossetti,1856-57, as one of her favourite works in @BM_AG's collection. Find out more in this podcast from a few years ago!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for @victoriaosborne's talk on the Pre-Raphaelites with @NewarkMuseum. If you missed the zoom webinar then you can find the talk + Q&A on Facebook https://t.co/5rtwSsMoR1 #PreRaphaelites
Caricature of John Everett Millais by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, c.1851-53. Millais is portrayed using a favourite expression for the type of painting he disliked! 'Sir Sloshua' was his derogatory term for Sir Joshua Reynolds, first president of the Royal Academy.
