Photos from our visit to the National Gallery today. We explored British history, monarchy, religion and culture and enjoyed the wonderful artwork from around the world

A Palestine Solidarity Campaign protest in the museum during our visit prompted further discussion on the language museums use to talk about different parts of the world - both historically and today - the legacy of the British Empire and the nature of protest in modern Britain.

Photos from our recent visit to the British Museum where we explored the history of the artefacts on display, how they came to the museum and current debates about where they should be housed.
