Also today, #FlintCastle ImageImageImageImage
Sorry to hear that this view of Flint Castle @AmgueddfaCymru in Cardiff has never been exhibited in North Wales - practical issues of course but maybe @cadwwales could display a photo of it or project it on the side of the ruin at night? museum.wales/collections/br… Image
This one is in a private collection having sold at @Sothebys for over £500k in 2010. art-turner.com/turner_1830_62… Image
This in the @Tate is also rather nice tate.org.uk/art/artworks/u… Image
My point is, how many of these are on display? Surely these institutions should dig them out of storage & put them (or at least high quality reproductions) on display in #NorthWales where they have so much more resonance.
Art should be for everyone & not just metropolitan museum goers.

Hope everyone in the US is enjoying #BlackHistoryMonth & learning a lot! Just wanted to talk about how #BlackTudors can give you a new perspective on #BlackHistory. For over 100 years before 1619 there were Africans living in Britain. Looking at their experiences raises new Qs…
Did you know there were Africans at the courts of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and James IV of Scotland? That an African diver salvaged items from the @MaryRoseMuseum? That there were Africans aboard the @GoldenHinde_ when Drake sailed it around the world in 1577-80?
In fact, Diego and Maria, and two other unnamed African men were with Drake when he landed in California in 1579- Africans (albeit briefly) in North America forty years before 1619.
