It’s time to get less precious about making promouncements and devolve to comment and observation. For many years now, I have enjoyed reading the heritage news website Global Museum. It is the only vaguely representative news website for museum, archaeological and other heritage-related stories, serious, funny, weird and fascinating that I know of. In today’s edition for example, I read about the ban on the potential sale of a portrait of the late Chinese president Mao Zedong despite the Chinese government decaring it officially ’30% wrong’. In the same edition, a story about the Natural History Museum introducing teleworking technology to enable emplyees to work remotely. How enlightened. You’ll enjoy this if you get bored of the doom and sensation that is permeating even the most serious news broadcasts on radio and TV these days.
