It's just weird isn't it when the British Museum is running a sold-out exhibition, when The Odyssey reports $1billion at the box office, when the V&A has just opened the most innovative and accessible museum model in Europe....and this is what our minister for research comes out with.

'History Day' is an excellent opportunity to meet with fellow historians and the many organisations that support research. Well worth attending, esp. if you're starting out on a project. @royalhistsoc.org is taking part and we look forward to seeing you on 18 November #Skystorians
