I was lucky to work with @History_Bham's West Midlands History on an @ArtsScienceFest event in 2018 @bmi1854. They had the perfect space for it and made it easy for us to just turn up and run the event. The event went brilliantly, now they need some help: gofundme.com/f/birmingham-am… – at Birmingham, England

Podcast number three! ✨ Mimi Buchanan, Learning & Engagement Intern, compares a toiling peasant, painted by Van Gogh, with a ballerina sculpture by Degas. What do the works in our collection share? Both depict working women in the 19th century. ➡️ barber.org.uk/tuesday-talks

The theme of this week’s #OnlineArtExchange is home and family. So, we're starting off with this peaceful view of Anne Hathaway’s bedroom by Fred Roe @ShakespeareBT - we particularly love the look of her patchwork quilt! @artukdotorg ➡️ artuk.org/discover/artworks/…

What would sculptor and collage artist Eduardo Paolozzi, lover of tech and pop culture, make of a world digitally communicating through Zoom, memes, and face-warping filters? If you could make a Quarantine Collage, what would it look like? #CultureinQuarantineMW #MuseumWeek #UoB

Each week we will share responses to our collection and galleries. This will enable the Barber to remain ‘open’ for people to engage with creativity and learning while enabling us to work collaboratively with artists and partners. Look out for #BarberHome2020 every Thursday.
