To my own pleasant surprise, this from V&A director Tristram Hunt is good on the problemsβand a solutionβfor UK national museums prevented from deaccessioning under certain terms of the 1983 National Heritage Act. Includes examples of practice in other European countries ('Even Switzerland...'). πποΈ

Screenshot from The Guardian's UK website this morning, under the category 'Egypt', a headline reading 'Smell like an Egyptian: researchers sniff ancient mummies to study preservation'
Hello @theguardian.com, this isn't news about Egypt, as your website categorizes it: it's news about Western scientists using colonial collections in Western museums to do to the ancestral Egyptian dead what they have done for centuries: promote themselves and grab headlines. π§΅ππΊποΈ

Front cover of the 1888 Christmas edition of the Victorian magazine 'The Cyclist', incorporating a year book for 1889 (document reference: MSS.328/C/5/CYCX/5). The illustration on the front cover is of a reclining gorilla in a pair of red pants, painting a landscape that is visible through a massive arch decorated with images of ancient Egyptian figures riding bicycles and tricycles. The landscape through the arch is a post-apocalyptic swamp which contains some broken pillars and the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. A red sun is either rising or setting behind the swampy view. The caption on the front cover reads 'Professor Gorilla's report being the Cyclist 'Xmas No. for 1888 and year book for 1889. Iliffe & Son 98, Fleet St., London & Coventry. Price One Shilling'.
Nothing says 'Traditional Victorian Christmas' more than a tenured gorilla in red pants painting post-apocalyptic London through an ornamental arch decorated with bicycling pharaohs

Gentle reminder to journalists flooding into the Syrian capital Damascus for the first time in more than a decade (an undeniably riveting opportunity): Any documents you come across are the property of the Syrian people & crucial evidence. Itβs not finders keepers.
