14 brilliant GPs, Carracci, Michelangelo, Dürer, John Wesley, Emperor Augustus and Sophia Schutz. Tremendous afternoon thinking through questions of body, identity, personhood and perception. Also laughing. Many thanks to @AndrewSchuman for setting it all up.

A great pleasure yesterday to welcome 1st year rabbinical students from @LeoBaeckCollege, looking at marriage rings from 15th-century Venice and Transylvania, and Rembrandt’s Hebrew Bible stories including these 4 images for Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel’s ‘Piedras Gloriosas’ of 1655

Quality thread from our friends at @HSMOxford.
We’d like to make the case for 6 as a pretty cool number - because all prime numbers are multiples of 6 (plus or minus 1). 🙂.

It really is a treat!.And, equally, it was a treat to look at Turner, Girtin, teapots and hair relics with @CCCOxfordAccess @engfac students this morning.
Such a treat to have the Wilton Diptych in town! After a great object-handling class with Jim Harris on Romantic memory & colonialism, took my students to look at the historical Richard II in preparation for a class on Shakespeare's Richard @AshmoleanUEP @AshmoleanMuseum
