“Melancholia : it’s a habitual feeling of our imperfection... It can also be a product of ideas about a certain perfection that is not found either in ourselves or in others, in the objects of our pleasure or in nature.”

Definition of the melancholia by Diderot in the Encyclopédie 

Painting : Automat by Edward Hopper in 1927

Museum Week: Children's Eyes

Today's #MuseumWeek theme is 'Children's Eyes', which is a wonderful reminder for us to look at the world with the same sense of wonder and curiosity as a child 👀⁠

Does anyone remember our #IsolationCreations fun last year? At the start of the first lockdown, we shared an object everyday and ask you to share your creative responses. We had a number of responses from kids, and these were just a few of our favourites! We love the bright colours, the mixed media and the highly original perspectives on these objects from our collection.⁠

If you were to view the world through the eyes of a child, what might you see differently today? ⁠

After all, I had a great weekend. Enjoy some family-time and decided to bake for them so we all had a pleasant day. Has been heart-warming!

Next week is going to be very full. I have two job meetings already scheduled, need to finally register my thesis with the first provisional title (still makes me laugh that part) and will write again a proposal to see if it works this time! I am trying to stay positive about it.

Apart from that, I am going to visit a museum, watch a documentary on WWII at the cinema with a conference afterwards (which looks cool) and is the week that I start my book club (first one is about Japan so I am very excited about it).
