Desperately sad news. Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context. Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them. Having spent many hours behind the scenes in this one, poring over skeletal collections at National Museum Wales, working with archaeologists there, my heart is riven by this sad news. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
@theAliceRoberts Dear heaven. It’s like the deliberate burning of the Library in Alexandria all those centuries ago. Rare texts lost forever to humanity. We should be protecting, studying and preserving all these artefacts, and ensuring they are available to people now and in the future.
@theAliceRoberts In a country with so many mega billionaires it's disheartening to think that not one of them chip in a cent to help anybody much !
@theAliceRoberts Labour run Wales and mismanagement - a disaster.
@theAliceRoberts Terribly sad. I trained as a teacher in Cardiff many years ago. Praying for the time we can get back to education, education, education as a priority.
@theAliceRoberts We don’t need fewer places to take the kids out to, we need more museums otherwise there is only shopping as an entertainment. #learning #art #museums #WALES
@theAliceRoberts I worked at the Temple of Peace nearby and spent many hours at this wonderful museum. We are all impoverished if such museums close. @WelshGovernment please don't shut this beautiful place. You can find the money. @RishiSunak please do the decent thing.
@theAliceRoberts it's the culture we voted for... democracy in the west is international... can evolution progress ???
@theAliceRoberts Oh, no! @ScotchMist31 @sunnyfla2 @yekim_mikey and all Our woolly mammoth! Spread the word, friends. Our mammoth is under threat.
@theAliceRoberts And while the UK Government are turning a blind eye to Brexit, its connotations and fall-outs, you have to ask yourself what's next? The #CostOfLivingCrisis didn't start from nothing. They've taken our life-raft away.
The consequences of having a Tory government for so long. The manifestation of "there is no society" only the individual. They want to destroy any sense we are a fair and decent society. No, they would rather fund/subsidise private schools and have us all focus on shopping. #GeneralElectionN0W
