Online museum archives thread 🧵 for self isolation.

AMAZING MUSEUMS all around the world 🌍🌎🌏 have web resources you can access 24 hours for FREE: #archaeology, #history, & #museum Twitter, let's find and share as many as we can!

@MuseumofLondon

➡️ museumoflondon.org.uk/collections Image
Thanks to @northbird_ellen, we also know about the FREE, online website for all Norwegian university museums. It's UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. You'll need a wee bit of Norwegian, but Ellen has that covered! 🎩tip: @slewisimpson

SO. MUCH. AMBER.

➡️ unimus.no ImageImageImageImage
Amis, ♥️ we now take you virtually from 🇳🇴 to 🇫🇷 and the wonderful #Roman #archaeology from the Chiragan villa, brought to you by the superb @MSR_Tlse. In French, but most browsers will have a translation option:

➡️ villachiragan.saintraymond.toulouse.fr Image
From 🇫🇷 to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. DYK @natlibscotmaps has THE MOST ENDLESSLY FASCINATING free website that allows you to explore georeferenced historic maps of #Scotland? We're big fans of the side-by-side and overlay transparency options! 🗺

#history | #archaeology

➡️ maps.nls.uk/index.html ImageImageImage
Like Scots-American #AmRev hero, Hugh Mercer, we move from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to the 🇺🇸 and the beautiful and user-friendly online portal for @PUArtMuseum.

We found this Peale 🎨🖌️ of Hugh and George Washington at Princeton:

➡️ artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/ob…

➡️ More on HM: lovearchaeology.wordpress.com/2016/12/14/hug… Image
Now to 🇬🇷 - the @BSAthens has a ridiculously attractive free website for its collections, so you can travel back in time to Knossos and the Byzantine world without leaving your house:

➡️ digital.bsa.ac.uk/index.php Image
We send our love to 🇮🇹 , where many of the most generous and kind people in the world live.

You can travel there virtually via the @the_bsr digital collections - their Piranesi archive is fantastic:

➡️ bsr.ac.uk/library/digita…

🎩tip @stephenjohnkay cc @pompei79 @DrPCRoberts ImageImage
There are also FREE apps to make you 'appy (sorry), like this interactive, virtual tour from @VictoriaGallery, so you can visit this Victorian architectural gem without being in the wonderful city of #Liverpool:

➡️ liverpool.ac.uk/csd/app-direct… ImageImage
WOW. You can explore (virtually) one of the greatest museums on earth: the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (@MANNapoli)! We are *genuinely* excited at discovering this.

Mini thread 🧵 on the news that 'Glasgow dock that featured in film 1917 to be restored', we imagine as stage one of the planned commercial and heritage development of the site news.stv.tv/west-central/g…
Possibly the most effective scene in '1917' - that really brought home the dangers in a multi-theatre context - was filmed at Govan Graving (= dry) Docks in Glasgow, with the No.1 Dock that is to be restored featuring as a canal 🎬 #WW1 Image
The (just about) surviving pump house was added to with temporary prop extensions and cleared of invasive weed growth for filming. Film unit cranes can be seen in the lower image: Image

We move from Germanic East Anglia to eastern Germany now. This is part of the Zwinger, a baroque palace garden complex in Dresden for the rulers of Saxony. Stunningly beautiful.

From Germany to #Glasgow: this is the glorious Main 'Gilbert Scott' Building at the University of Glasgow (@UofGlasgow). It was largely built between the 1860s and 1880s. The #WW1 Memorial Chapel completed the west quadrangle in 1929.
