We're getting ready for the #ChristmasChallenge - but how are donations doubled?
It's all down to match funding. When you donate through a Big Give campaign, the Big Give asks funders (philanthropists, foundations or corporates) to match that donation. So £50 from you becomes £100 for a good cause.

Today is #NationalIllustrationDay2025 and we're sharing two illustrations in our collection by the same person — Robert Cruikshank.
Robert Cruikshank was part of a family of illustrators, alongside his father Robert and his brother George, though he was probably the least famous of the lot.

Here's more photos from the archive, of the Museum during salvage of the building in the 1970s.
By this point, around 1975-6, the piazza had been cleared of rubble and a collapsed wall rebuilt.
But there's no roof! It's cold enough in winter without having to contend with that...
