Haunted Polar Bears: Art & the Arctic — Redacted Museum
One place you don’t expect to be at the mercy of the polar bear is in an exam hall at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Art history is social history and I will die on that hill. Read my latest blog on how the missing Franklin Expedition affected contemporary portrayals of the arctic in the 19th century. Also haunted polar bears. 🐻❄️

Cease and Desist: Castles — Redacted Museum
Build a castle or get beheaded. How we pivoted away from the fortification aesthetic.
Those #castles scattered across the UK? Status symbols, power plays, and paranoia told by expensive stonework. 🏰 When #Tudor era politics got messier than moats could handle, construction stopped.

Next time you visit an #EnglishHeritage or #NationalTrust site, take a moment to notice: is the tearoom in the old kitchens or the old stables? It's always one and once you start clocking it, you’ll never unsee it.

How to Negotiate in a Stealing Sort of Way — Redacted Museum
Somehow both a celebrated archeologist and a professional disgrace. Oh, Aurel Stein, what have you done?
The #britishmuseum recent #silkroads exhibition made me think a lot about Aurel Stein, a significant 19th c. archeologist whose questionable choices we tried to bury as adeptly as the 2nd century shoes he pulled out the desert sands.📜
Read about him in my new blog here: shorturl.at/lKqjK
