Gifts from Emperor #Puyi to his departing tutor Johnston reside in the SOAS library and archives. These include the emperor’s fan, now part of the Library’s Special Chinese Art Collection. The black fan features a landscape picture in gold and bears an inscription of the Imperial Seal of Xuantong (Puyi was the Xuantong Emperor). The fan was given as a farewell gift on 15th September 1930 when Johnston left China following the formal handover of Weihai back to Chinese sovereignty.

The development of ‘tie-on’ pockets during the 17th century was a defining moment for women, providing a highly practical and extremely popular detachable accessory for carrying their possessions, similar to the function of handbags today.
In polite society, formal situations, or when travelling, pockets would normally be invisible under a woman’s petticoats, but for working women, they might be more visible and immediately accessible, worn just under an apron.

What's in a word?
This new resource explores how museums communicate about collections review, object removal and disposal. Inspired by discussions at a January 2026 event at Manchester Art Gallery, where 50 museum professionals came together to examine the language used around these complex processes, it offers practical reflections for supporting open, honest and informed conversations

"La Musicienne".
Musée d'art et d'histoire de Neuchâtel
Crafted between 1768 and 1774 by watchmakers Pierre Jaquet-Droz, Henri-Louis, and Jean-Frédéric Leschot, these mechanical marvels are extremely delicate. To preserve them, the museum only operates them once a month: every 1st Sunday at 14:00, 15:00, and 16:00.

Behold the jackal food. Rather than using photosynthesis to make food, this parasite siphons nutrients from host plants. The corpse-like stench of its fruit attracts jackals & other carnivores... but how does it taste? Its texture & flavor have been compared to that of a potato!

New #pterosaur species discovered in previously overlooked specimen of dinosaur regurgitalite.
The discovery also offers a glimpse into ancient food chains in the region. The regurgitalite is fairly clear evidence of pterosaurs serving as prey to larger dinosaurs.

These brain implants speak your mind — even when you don't want to.
Surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can also eavesdrop on their inner monologue.
That's the conclusion of a study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the journal Cell.
