A lime bike, or similar, mostly encased in concrete -- the kind of thing that future mudlarks might puzzle over, assuming the world doesn't end this year.

Our SEND pupils had a fantastic time at the Museum of London Docklands! 🎨🎶
They took part in an art & craft session, a sensory circuit and a music session, exploring creativity and sensory experiences. #SEND #MuseumOfLondon #ArtsInEducation

An ink drawing of the monochrome embroidered jacket (1600-1620; exact date unknown) at the Museum of London (I think it is in the V&A’s costume archive now), showing the cascading flower motif repeated all over the jacket. Embroidery thread is silk, jacket is linen. The jacket is drawn as if worn, with the front pulled closed, an high neckline, and the arms out in front (figure is facing 2/3 left), to show the embroidery design. Digital text underneath reads: Museum of London embroidered jacket, 1600-1620, drawing by Laura Mellin.
A colour photograph of plate 8 from the Besler Florilegium, 1613, showing two kinds of laburnum flowers. Left is Alpine laburnum, with long bracts of small yellow flowers, seed pods, and green leaves. Right is Laburnum (false ebony), which has larger yellow flower bracts, and no seed pods. The false ebony laburnum has a resemblance to the embroidered bracts on the Museum of London jacket.
An ink drawing by me of the individual motifs repeated on the Museum of London embroidered jacket. They are somewhat abstract, but the top of the false ebony laburnum in the Besler Florilegium (plate 8) shows how the upper part of the branch matches both the leaf and the drooping bracts in the embroidery. So, instead of a vine, as I suggested on my very old (and in need of rebuilding) website, these could be construed as false ebony laburnum, since the Florilegium and the jacket are from roughly the same date. It’s just a theory.

Apropos of nothing, I was reading my copy of The Besler Florilegium (1613), & thought a painting of laburnum looks kind of like the motifs on the embroidered jacket from the Museum of London. *sigh* Need to completely rebuild my website.

I am re-reading Mansfield Park and feel much kinder towards Fanny Price. As a teenager I found her insipid but adulthood made me realise she is quietly accepting of her situation. Here is Fanny in printed cotton alongside Mary Crawford in bold red gauze #ksumuseum #museumoflondon #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I understand the #TrumpBaby is being held in the #MuseumofLondon which is great.
#FreeTrumpBaby we need him again ... maybe even 'rent' him out for upcoming events

It might have been votive (used for religious or ritual purposes) or have been thrown away as rubbish. 🤷♂️

Visited #Smithfield today. Development for the #MuseumOfLondon is well underway at the old derelict west part of the market. The eastern part still seems to be functioning. A very sad feeling in the air, though. #London #History #BartholomewFair #Museum

#OneUndershaft to be tallest #skyscraper in #CityofLondon, exactly same height as the #Shard. Replaces 'similarly tall but aesthetically different' #Tulip. Dedicated space for #MuseumofLondon on floors 72 & 73. Construction to take 5 years starting 2025, subject to planning https://buff.ly/4heiadg
Amazing find. Hugely looking forward to the reopening of the Museum of London on its new site.
