We are featured in Twinkl’s Museums Campaign. Twinkl also have a wide variety of museum-related resources on their site. Historians, Archaeologists, Antropologists, Art Historians, you name it – everyone who studies the past eventually finds their way to a Museum. In my case, it happens far more than eventually.

Ancient Rome is my spouse, the 19th century is my lover
Ancient History researchers are often drawn to the 19th century. Here is some insight as to some reasons why.
Images of broken queens: Cersei of House Lannister, Aphrodite and Hera
We all know Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire is mostly Medieval in inspiration, no one can deny it. The author took a lot of ideas from historical events such as the Wars of the Roses and the Norman conquest. That does not mean, however, that there isn’t quite a lot of Classical inspiration.

The Hotel Francfort, but also the Marrare
Today’s post is a lot less philosophical and a lot more actual History. When we are walking along a city landscape, we often admire its old buildings, isn’t it? We’re walking past and our minds are thinking “Woah, 200 years ago this building was already here. I’m walking someone’s steps and seeing what they mustContinue reading “The Hotel Francfort, but also the Marrare”
