In August 2019, a young girl named Bethan visited Poole Museum in Dorset, England, with her mother. Inspired by the exhibits and a conversation about the purpose of museums, Bethan decided to donate her most treasured possession—a small rock—to the museum. She requested that it be placed behind glass so others could appreciate it as she did. The museum staff honored her heartfelt request, and the rock was displayed in a glass case on the second floor, labeled “Bethan’s Rock.” #museums

Among his most haunting images were the #shepherds of the Landes, perched on towering wooden stilts known as échasses. Dressed in thick wool cloaks and wide-brimmed hats, these men weren’t performers or curiosities—they were survivors of the bog. #History
