“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? ⁠
