If I really have to; curator when strictly necessary. We/its.
14/5/83: With 20 seaside resorts opening nude and topless beaches this summer, I really do not see the need to keep the Elgin Marbles in Bloomsbury any longer. They should be auctioned, and the money spent on more ice creams for the moaning, underprivileged kiddies of Merseyside.

Empress Theodora & her court - Basilica di S. Vitale, #Ravenna Dating to the 6th C. I particular like how the craftsmen have depicted the flow of the fabric & the different patterns on the costumes in mosaic. As well as the details such as the Three Wise Men #FabricsInChurches

Don't care if it's only given to a follower of Monsu Desidero, I'd take this Sack of Troy @ChristiesInc in a heartbeat. And the cradling on the back is charming (although, er, not working very well).
Possibly the weirdest "Rembrandt - Velazquez" pairing imaginable? news.artnet.com/exhibitions/re…
Proud to share my groundbreaking research into the Frog of Willendorf (and correct decades of academic misinterpretation)
humbly paging @dr_humblebrag for zir invaluable thoughts
Yeah, I don’t know what’s worse: having to pull together EVERYTHING you’ve done or figuring out what to cut??
