    For immediate release Issued Wednesday 8 July 2020 Horniman Museum to reopen from Thursday 30 July The Horniman will reopen its doors to the public from Thursday 30 July, for the first time since mid- March. Visitors (including Members) will need to pre-book for a free, timed entry slot, via the website horniman.ac.uk. As well as the popular galleries of natural history, world cultures and musical instruments, the Permian Monsters exhibition will also reopen on 30 July, with ticket prices from £5, and an extended run until 3 January 2021. However, some attractions will remain closed initially, including the Aquarium and Butterfly House, and some interactive exhibits have been removed or covered up. Social distancing and other safety measures will be in place throughout the Museum, including hand sanitisation stations, an enhanced cleaning regime, updated signage and a one-way visitor route. During the Museum’s 134-day closure, the Horniman’s Gardens have remained open, giving local residents much-needed green space for their daily exercise during the Coronavirus lockdown. The Horniman has gradually reopened additional facilities including toilets and Café Kiosks in the Gardens, and the Sunday Market. The main Café will reopen at the same time as the Museum with specific safety measures in place. Nick Merriman, Chief Executive of the Horniman Museum and Gardens, says: ‘We’ve heard from many of our visitors how much they’ve missed the Museum. We are immensely grateful for their support during closure and look forward to welcoming them back. Our priority as we return is to increase the diversity of our visitors, address our colonial history and accelerate work on the climate and ecological emergency.’ Pre-booked tickets will be available on the website from Monday 20 July.

  • National Dimensions
    ONS NATIONAL DIM NATIONAL DIMENNATIONAL DIMENSIONS NAL DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONS NATIO This report was researched and written by AEA Consulting: Magnus von Wistinghausen Keith Morgan Katharine Housden This report sets out the collaborative work undertaken by the UK’s nationally funded museums, libraries and archives with other organisations across the UK, and assesses their impact on cultural provision across the nation. It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation. It is acknowledged that the NMDC does not include all museums and other collecting institutions which carry the term ‘national’ as part of their name. Specific reference to their activities is not contained in this report. Published in the United Kingdom by the National Museum Directors'

    H-Early-America UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration since C18 Discussion published by John Daniel Saillant on Monday, August 25, 2014 Aaron Mulvany Monday, August 25, 2014 H-Asia DEADLINE: 5 September 2014 The Art Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund have generously funded a series of seminars (‘Travellers’ Tails’) at the National Maritime Museum and partner museums around the UK to investigate the histories, practices and interpretation of art, science and exploration from the Enlightenment to the present day. The seminars will bring together scholars, artists, scientists, explorers, members of the public and museum professionals to examine the changing nature, impact and legacies of European exploration since the mid-18th century. The seminars will focus on today’s audiences and discuss the display and interpretation of the material culture of exploration within gallery, heritage and museum environments. Seminars will interrogate the relevance of the subject and issues surrounding its presentation in a post-imperial world. George Stubbs’ iconic paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum, will provide a starting point for wider-ranging papers and discussion within a multi-disciplinary environment. Proposals of no longer than 250 words, for presentations of 20 minutes, should be sent to [email protected] by no later than Friday, 5 September 2014. We welcome submissions for papers and less-formal presentations from academics, curators, artists and other specialists in the fields. Proposals from

As a bridge between HRP’s overarching Cause and Principles and CCC’s operational guidelines and procedures, it guides everything we do. The collection consists of items owned by Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) along with items under the care of the Royal Collection Trust and in-situ at the HRP-managed palaces because we can show them in their original or early contexts. The Royal Armouries and many other lenders also own items. For simplicity, we use the term ‘the Collection’ to encompass them all, as conservation care covers all the objects in all the collections. CCC is an international leader in conservation practice and research, so the policy recognises our responsibility to share our discoveries.

    Kids from 7 to 11 years old IN LONDON Step into Land of the Lions Land of the Lions is here! ZSL London Zoo’s newest and most breath-taking exhibit transports visitors from the heart of London to India’s vibrant Sasan Gir, where they can get closer than ever before to mighty Asiatic lions. Shrek’s Adventure London London's newest family attraction! Step into the kingdom of Far Far Away and enjoy a brand new madcap Shrek adventure where amazing DreamWorks animation, captivating story-telling and a good dose of Donkey’s cheekiness awaits. The London Dungeon (all ages) It has all the ghastly gore and black comedy of the old Tooley Street attraction in a bigger and more high-tech package. A jokey celebration of torture, death and disease, visitors can journey back in time to London's plague-ridden streets (rotting corpses, rats, vile boils and projectile vomiting all come as standard) and meet some of the city's unsavoury characters, from Guy Fawkes to demon barber Sweeney Todd. A cast of blood- splattered actors are joined by 'virtual' guests, such as Brian Blessed as Henry VIII, and as well as the 18 different shows and 'surprises' – which could see you on the run from Jack the Ripper or getting lost in London's Victorian sewers – there are two rides to raise the adrenaline: a turbulent boat trip down the Thames towards execution, and a dark drop ride plunging three stories in the pitch black. Note that the London Dungeon is unsuitable for young or easily scared children.
