Tokyo has no shortage of fine art museums, but few hold a candle to how Hakone blends the beauty of its forested mountains with world-class paintings, sculptures and more. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/09/13/travel/hakone-art-travel-museums-nature/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #travel #japaneseart #museums #japanesecrafts

Seth Purcell on modern science museums:

But now more than ever in history, kids need a break from the screens that all too many of them are sadly often plugged into by default, and connection to the real world instead.

These days most science outreach seems a pavlovian training to regard as boring anything that's not a game, dismiss learning as a burden if it takes effort, and reduce science to instagrammable media to scroll through while in line at the mall.

Hello. 👋

I’m developing a personal site to house and share some of my work, including both the academic stuff and the more public-facing writing I’ve been doing in recent years.

If any of the below are your bag, perhaps you’ll take a look or subscribe to the blog?

Update: we had THE BEST time at the Museum of Natural History in Milan 🇮🇹

There’s so much to see! From minerals, to fossils, dinosaur skeletons, exhibits about human evolution, dioramas showing different habitats…

Had I gone by myself I could have easily spent 6 hours here 😅

I know there aren't many people exploring the fediverse from the UK heritage sector, but worth a try: is anyone out there associated with a museum or gallery (etc) in Leeds?

I would like to connect with such people!

The Puss-and-Mew machine, created by Captain Dudley Bradstreet in 1736, is considered the first vending machine for alcohol. Coins were placed in the cat’s mouth and the drink poured from its paw. 🐈🍸
