It is so interesting to know how technology, science and human skills work together to take care of these objects.

Thank you B.M. Videos like this one make me feel more optimism about the future and the world. They give me solance in the knowledge of the existence of people who care about these things and their efforts to comprehend and share important things about the human race and the world.

I've never thought about the micro-environments inside of museum cases. That's neat.

[@petrfrizen6078]

…And it is every second on my mind for the last decade or so…

[@Cracktaculus]

Which means you've never considered the micro environment in which you inhabit, you nasty creature!

I was trying to access the webpage that appears at the end of the videos. But I couldn’t open it. I hope this can work better as the videos are very well done.

Does the British Museum offers scholarships for conservation ?

[@user-hm9mj1hc3j]

I'm curious as well,

[@petrfrizen6078]

Oh, yes the relocation allowances for the mummies and stone carved images from the different parts of the world…

Specilization is for insects. What are your hobbies and how well can you cook?

We greatly respect you at the British Museum, as tourist business peddlers and chatterbox professionals, in London. But we need our moai back, he is our sacred friend, our lost friend, our friend stolen by a gang of sailors and Royal Navy officers in 1868. He will restore mana to our island, Rapa Nui, Easter Island. Please be decent people. You are not owners of Humanity. They are not reservoirs of our souls. Without our moai we are bodies, but without soul. We need him, he is our family

That wasn’t very difficult. The word “brittle” is also quite prominent in “Shantaram”… A very interesting book, by the way…

[@Cracktaculus]

That conservator chick with the long arms makes me wiggle.
