A terrific visit was enjoyed by all who attended the Chester Archaeological Society visit to the Grosvenor Museum stores. It was a real insight into the behind-the-scenes work of the museum. More details and lots of pix on the blog at wp.me/pcZwQK-6Xj
Super visit today to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight with my friend Julian to enjoy Lord Leverhulme's wildly eclectic and high quality collection. It is like a mini V&A with splendid decorative arts as well as paintings. More on the blog at wp.me/pcZwQK-70x

Ancient Egypt at the Liverpool World Museum @World_Museum was a treat today. There is space for flow of traffic, plenty of exhibits to give a sense of the quality and range of work produced from the Predynastic to Graeco-Roman periods and well explained and presented for all ages

Never thought I'd be the type to set homework, but here I am, drunk with power and a red marker! Really enjoying delving into hieroglyphs once more @World_Museum... frying brains and transliterating inscriptions!
