Aida's Thumbelina Choir uniform tells the story of resilience & heroism of children, their determination to protect themselves from & stand up to wartime surroundings through 🎶1/5
"We defended ourselves against our surroundings through song. We were between the ages of three and fifteen. We learned discipline, responsibility, stamina, and solidarity. We rehearsed a lot so that, when the time was right, a single cue... 2/5
...would be enough to bring us all to the stage to perform as one. Sometimes we stood in one spot for hours, training our focus as we practiced the song’s rendition. We were not afraid of public performances; we were afraid that we might not survive. 3/5

The real heroes who deserve to be celebrated are the skilled crafts communities integral to #preservation #conservation of #heritage #sites #monuments and #museums across the world. These are photos from the #NalandaUniversity, a #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite in #Bihar in 2013
Here, when we had gone on a research trip as the Bihar Museum #design team, we had found #craftsmen making bricks and sculptures to help in the restoration of the 1500 year old site. We thought this was extremely imp as the process was similar ImageImageImageImage
I had suggested that this process be filmed and displayed as part of ‘continuing traditions’ in the new Museum. Thankfully, this was accepted and a film has been made 😊
...
Thank you the real heroes, we salute you for your skill and hard work, not just today but everyday 🙏🏽

December 6, 1917, Railway Dispatcher Vincent Coleman went to work from his home on Russell St in Halifax's North End. He left his wife Frances & their 2 year old daughter Eileen, dressed in a cheerful blue dress handmade by Frances. #HalifaxExplosion #Museumweek #HeroesMW
As Coleman relieved the night dispatcher at the telegraph, in the distance there was a muffled crash, followed by a column of black smoke rising above the rows of parked freight cars. #HalifaxExplosion #Museumweek #HeroesMW
At the entrance to the Narrows, after a series of ill-judged manoeuvres, the Imo struck the Mont-Blanc on the bow. The collision was not severe, fire immediately broke out on board the Mont-Blanc. The captain, pilot and crew, left the ship. #HalifaxExplosion #Museumweek #HeroesMW

Hoy empieza la #MuseumWeek dedicando el día a los #HéroesMW, un hashtag que pretende rendir homenaje a todas las personas que luchan en primera línea contra el Covid19. Desde el Museo Naval queremos darles las gracias y todo nuestro apoyo, este es nuestro homenaje.
La operación llevada a cabo por las #FuerzasArmadas en España contra el Covid19 recibió el nombre de #OperaciónBalmis y por eso hoy os traemos la historia del médico Francisco Javier Balmis.
#Navalencasa
Balmis nació en Alicante en 1753 y estudió medicina en el Hospital Real Militar de su ciudad natal.

Un año más participamos en la #MuseumWeek que hoy arranca. Compartiremos mucho patrimonio en estos 7 días con los 7 temas propuestos.

Hoy hablaremos de #HeroesMW y destacaremos algunos/as que podemos encontrar en las salas de exposiciones.

¡Comenzamos!
En la Sala Capitular la mirada se dirige a la serie de tapices "Zenobia, Reina de Palmira" que guarda una historia fascinante.

Una mujer que plantó cara a los grandes imperios en el s. III d.C y consiguió extender sus dominios en la región #HeroesMW
Palmira, situada en la actual Siria, era una provincia romana desde el s. I d.C e importante núcleo estratégico como paso de las principales rutas comerciales y frontera entre Roma y Persia.

Fue conocida como la "perla del desierto”. Ilustración: Jean-Claude Golvin #HeroesMW

Hoy comienza el #Museumweek. 7 días con 7 hashtags a través de los cuales abrir pequeñas ventanas digitales hacia el interior de nuestros museos. Nosotros intentaremos hacerlo #enclaveantropologica. Empezamos!
No todos los #héroesMW llevan capa. Durante estas semanas, personas cuyo nombre no empieza por “súper” han estado trabajando incesantemente para que su comunidad estuviese más segura. Desde el MNA queremos agradecérselo #enclaveantropológica
La antropología y la medicina, como ciencias vinculadas al ser humano, siempre han ido unidas. Porque la medicina y quienes la practican han tenido siempre un papel relevante en las diferentes culturas. No solo cuando hay pandemias. #heroesMW #enclaveantropológica
