Glad you could drop in! I should probably have done a better job of telling people more than 10 mins in advance...

Oh look, @antarcticheritage.bsky.social are here too! Should have tagged them in the first place. They've done all the hard work organising us!

All your photos are making me nostalgic - we had an excellent (though sweltering) family visit last year. The lava bombs were our fave

Ah, too bad - maybe another time

Ooh, so close, but I don't think I'll be able to make it. If you happen to be around the day before and fancy a tour of our new galleries at the @mediamuseum.bsky.social, drop me a line!

I can! I'm really pleased for you that you had the opportunity. It looks absolutely awesome - in every sense of the word

Looks amazing!

There was this from the @sciencemuseum.org.uk too

Reassured to know it's not just me!

Did the new and improved footage give you more / different feelings? My main feeling is that I'm glad all the sea life is having a lovely time living there

Maybe, but I think it would help with daily rhythm if you had a landmark you knew was due east, say, and noticed where the sun was relative to it throughout the day. Or if walking in a consistent direction I think you'd notice the sun / shadows shifting?

Really interesting, thanks for sharing. In the diaries / reports you've read is there much about the phases of the moon or the sun moving around the horizon? I guess sven without sunrise/set there are good informal indications of time of day / date when you get into the rhythm of it

I think you're on to something there, thanks for the article

Huh! I had no idea (to be fair was probably oblivious to Brian Eno in 1995)

There was also a really thoughtful display about Wedgwood's abolitionist campaigning that manages a nuanced discussion of his position supplying goods to a wealthy elite made wealthy via slavery. A compelling display and art made with local students explores his famous anti-slavery medallion

The museum is far more expansive than I'd expected. I really enjoyed learning about members of the Lunar Society, including Josiah Wedgwood, when I was a student, so it was a pleasure to see some of his work up close. The display emphasised links to industry, empire, canals, nat. philosophy...
