Mosaic of a lion in a rocky landscape clutching a leopard in it’s front paws. The lion has a fierce expression while the leopard looks fearful for what comes next. Now held in the MAN Napoli, inv. no. 114282.

✨Lion versus Leopard✨

This mosaic immediately captures your attention - the direct gaze of the lion forcing the leopard into submission is hard to miss. The mosaic has suffered some damage from subsistence over the years but feels acutely compelling even with the rough edges.

Image showing the information printed on the raft: It says C2176, then D.R.Co. Jul 1940, and Mid/30.

#NavalHistory people! Help! Our local museum has a life raft we're trying to research. Does anyone know anything about it? It is triangular, and is stamped with a 1940 date.

This is our Rural Telephone Exchange.
It used to be a fuel store many moons ago but now houses equipment from the 1940s.
It runs our internal telephone system.
And it still works when we have a power cut!

We've got lots happening at the Museum this month!
