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

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.

This sculpture is the real life version of the 🤝 emoji!
In 1853, pioneering American sculptor Harriet Hosmer met poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and proposed an unusual artistic collaboration: a cast of their interlocked right hands.
Elizabeth Browning agreed on one condition—that Hosmer complete the casting herself, rather than her studio assistants. The sculpture captured the love between the Brownings, who had eloped to Italy seven years earlier

The Benefits of an Afternoon at the Art Museum.
Educators and psychologists have long recognized the benefits of art creation as part of a child’s education. But simply spending time among great works of art can be even more rewarding. That’s why I invite you to skip the pool or park one Saturday afternoon and take your kids to an art museum instead.
