Sue and I need a break from decluttering, and we have booked a visit to the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre to meet the ‘Curator of Time’ (Dr Emily Akkermans) ... which is a wonderfully Whovian title for the person in charge of all of the National Maritime Museum’s timepieces.
We’ve met them before, but this time our visit will be as part of a small group who will be given the opportunity to see those items from the collection that are currently not on show or are undergoing preservation.
The Curator of Time sounds like a character crom a Jack Vance story. Enjoy! Hopefully there will be a follow up post about what you saw.
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteVery true … but the name also has massive overtones of Doctor Who and the Time Lords.
If I’m allowed to take some photos, I will do. (The museum has strict rules about what you can and cannot photograph.)
All the best,
Bob
Sounds like a timely interlude...sorry, couldn't help m'self.
ReplyDeleteEd M,
DeleteI enjoyed your joke as much as I enjoyed my visit to the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre.
All the best,
Bob
That is one of the best job titles I have ever heard!
ReplyDeleteFitz-Badger,
DeleteIt certainly trips of the tongue easier than some of the other curator titles … such as Curator of Contemporary Maritime Impacts!
All the best,
Bob
BOB- Should be a very interesting visit - especially to view those items currently not on display to the public. Cheers. KEV.
