Welcome to Litsy!

Great read about history and artifacts from the British museum!

“In a time of huge controversy about the legacy of empire, racial justice and the future of museums, what does the future hold for the Bronzes?”

A fascinating look at the history of Britain and their taking of the Benin Bronzes. The audiobook and narration were excellent while the content was easy to understand by those with little knowledge of the subject. I thought this might be a bit dry but it was really interesting from start to finish

This is actually a reread for me, mostly just because it's soothing and I couldn't remember which objects got picked!

This really is a little book, but it's still interesting. It uses the British Museum's collections (with a little bit of help from the British Library) to discuss how same-sex desire has been portrayed in art and literature. It's not an exhaustive account, and many cultures leave no mark: I'd say it's best viewed as highlighting some interesting objects (and some of the lacunae where we can't say), rather than as any kind of complete narrative.

Life‘s too short to have only ‘serious‘ clothes! Treated myself to this … I‘m imaging me walking amongst the veg in my new veg plot, pottering in the greenhouse looking very dandy! 🤣

Another photo of this beautiful wrapping paper😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
