One of my old haunts, the #FitzwilliamMuseum in #Cambridge, has a very lush looking #exhibition coming up: Made in Ancient Egypt
🗓️ 3 Oct 2025 – 12 Apr 2026
🎟️ From £14.50It focuses on craftsfolk and making, which is so up my street. Sadly I don't think I can get my butt over there (it's a 7+ hour train journey in each direction with an infant)
But hopefully YOU can go. Tell me all about it if you do!

Looking more like frozen soda, this is actually a miniature intaglio portrait of a young boy, possibly Eros (remains of wings can be seen). He clutches two pine-cones, an ear of corn and a leaf, all Dionysian symbols of rebirth.

DOWN WITH RUMP - as seen at the excellent Defaced exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The coin was defaced in around 1745 to protest against the Rump Parliament, but it could have been yesterday. #Defaced #FitzwilliamMuseum #Cambridge #Rump #Trump #coins #currency #protest
