@ctimmermann @Flurin_Condrau The Guardian story seems to have missed the point here, which is to close the gallery while they rethink how to deal with these objects and themes: https://twitter.com/ExploreWellcome/status/1596091202381975552?s=20&t=vlSy1sfNV28I4xe5Ivd4sw

@ctimmermann as I said on the bird site: An important decision! (Artistic) interventions are great & can do a lot of reparative work but eventually we do need to change the whole display. And frankly also our institutions! Chapeau to the Wellcome Collection ! #Museums #Collections #HistSTM #HistNatHist #Justice #Transformation
