We have a large number of Thanksgiving postcards in our collection and thought we would pull out some that we found fun, funny, and just plain odd! Does your family have a tradition of sending cards for Thanksgiving? #museums #archives #thanksgiving

#MuseumsUnlocked One type of "offerings" found in Bornholm "woodhenges" were burned flint axes...When flint is heated it explodes with loud bangs. These were basically #Neolithic firecrackers 🙂 spirting razor sharp flakes everywhere as they exploded. Cool https://t.co/Y4K51uWnjw

For #MuseumsUnlocked #neolithic Stonehenge, a woodcut by Tokyo-born Yoshijiro Urushibara, aka 'Mokuchū' (1888-1953). He worked in the UK, France, USA and was an important influence on the development of the colour woodcut in UK art schools in the 1920s. @AberArtSchool colls.

We draw today's #MuseumsUnlocked thread to a close with a light-hearted drawing from Jack B. Yeats...
Found on the verso of another drawing, this image depicts a boy in roller skates coming to the aid of another whose foot has become stuck in a hole in a sidewalk. Growing pains!
'Notes on Gesture (for H.C.)' (2015). A series of 34 photographs, each of which replicates a pose made by the female character (played by Hélène Chatelain) in Chris Marker's 'La Jetée'. While her hand gestures were replicated, her facial expressions were not.

#MuseumsUnlocked - Megalithic Architecture
Rev James Bulwer painted these atmospheric watercolour views of Stanton Drew, Somerset, in the 1820/30s. The structure had long been noted by antiquarians - the first detailed map and drawings had been made by William Stukeley in 1723.
This pen and ink drawing is titled ‘West View of Nine Ladies stone circle’ by British soldier and antiquarian Major Hayman Rooke (1723-1806).
Nine Ladies Stone Circle is located on Stanton Moor, Derbyshire.
