Ancient Beings online exhibition

 The Ancient Beings exhibition was displayed in the Tower Gallery at Eton College from late 2019 until closure earlier this year due to the COVID-19 crisis. It has now been deinstalled, but there is now an online version of the exhibition freely available to view here, allowing anyone to view the remarkable relics that have been collected.

The Ancient Beings exhibition features materials from Ancient Egypt, some of them dating back over five thousand years, and gives incredible insight into the mythology and culture of this distant civilisation.

Explore the exhibition now at this link, thanks to my extremely talented sister, Rebecca Tessier, who just happens to be the curator of the exhibit.

Bestiary Alphabetum

A reblog here of a gorgeous piece of work by artist Nathan Sanderson. Bestiary Alphabetum is an A to Z of mythical monsters, illustrated beautifully (and horrifyingly). I've long had a mind to get some talented types to join me in creating something similar. There are even some creatures here that I was unfamiliar with, which doesn't happen too often. Wonderful stuff.
