4.5 years of inventory; 1.5 years of packing: 0.5 years of moves. A brilliant team delivered this @BM_AG @BMTMCC But don’t forget! @BM_AG itself reopened!

Today marks the completion of the collections move from @BM_AG Around 36,000 objects have been inventoried, packed and moved. Ayesha, who has managed the works on paper as part of this took this photo. We call it “The Last of BMAG” (with apologies to Ford Madox Brown).
