🎬 International Animation Day🎨
Today we’re celebrating animation’s power to tell bold stories - like this brilliant piece by Sharare, who works with us at St Albans Museums. The animation captures the fierce spirit of Boudicca, the warrior queen who burned Roman Verulamium to the ground.

And what do you think...is it a mistake or a maker's mark?
