Welcome

My trip to England last month gave me a lot of food for thought and some ideas and experiences that I wanted to share with colleagues here at UPMAA but I wasn't sure what medium would be best. I finally decided a blog might work, because people could pick and choose and go at their own pace. This is my first attempt at anything like this, bear with the glitches. I put in as many pictures as I could to make it interesting. Clicking on the pictures will enlarge them.
I tried to break it down into subject specific postings:
The conference - a bit about the conference I went to, mostly interest for Egyptological stuff and conservation.
Mummy wrapping - a workshop I went to which may be of interest to Education and Events and the craft lovers among you.
At the British Museum - some interesting initiatives in the BM galleries
Cross-cultural exhibits - two exhibits at the BM that are thematic rather than geo- or cultural-centric. One seemed to work better than the other.
The Wellcome Collection - a newly opened exhibit space with some interesting exhibit ideas.
The 'other' Ur - a brief look at the BM's gallery
Gallery extras - what the BM and Fitzwilliam were doing to keep their galleries relevant without renovation
Mounts - what's in use Over There
Storage - some storage ideas we may find useful
Tourism - pretty pictures of Cambridge

Hope you find something interesting and feel free to comment, either on the blog, by email, or in person.
