Hi! I’m Polly. I live in London and one of my favourite things to do is go look at art. I started this account to share what I see and connect with other art lovers here and around the world.

“Museums do not create division by presenting facts; they build understanding. They create space for dialogue, healing, and recognition.”

An excellent defense of Black history in museums by Vedet Coleman-Robinson in @hyperallergic.com today.

First They Came for Black History

The erasure of African Americans from museum galleries is also a warning sign that any community's stories can be next.

Guernica, Picasso. 1937.

I’ve been thinking about this work a lot lately and how powerful it really is.

So glad I’ve gotten the chance to see it in person at Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid 🇪🇸

Museums aren't the only place for art. You're still an artist, even if you don't have your work displayed in a museum. 🏛️

Sounds fun!

The Museum Muse @themuseummuse.bsky.social · Jul 25

I would consider an art reception potentially where the artist will be present and other guests and an open house more for the general public or museum members.
