Hieroglyphs, a new exhibition at the British Museum, explores the importance of this script to the people who used it and charts the key moments and objects that helped scholars decipher this language 200 years ago.

The exhibition brings together over 240 objects, including loans from national and international collections. It features some of the world’s most famous objects. Our research and interpretation team visited the exhibition. We were particularly impressed by the second part of the exhibition, a walkable timeline of objects and other material that helped Thomas Young and Jean-Francois Champollion to decipher the ancient language. This reshaped our understanding of the perceived importance of the Rosetta Stone and how other artefacts played a significant role in deciphering hieroglyphs.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of UNESCO’s World Heritage Convention. This landmark treaty defined the kind of natural or cultural sites that can be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List. For the first time, it made the link between concepts of nature conservation and the preservation of cultural properties.

Since its launch in 1972, the World Heritage List has seen the inscription of over 1100 sites in more than 150 countries, representing the greatest natural and cultural treasures of humanity. It has been a hugely successful initiative – beyond the sites themselves, the Convention has also proven to be a powerful tool to support heritage globally and strengthen its protection.

On Sunday evening, 'Lusail Museum: Tales of a Connected World' at Gallery - Al Riwaq, Doha opened to a VIP audience.

This compelling exhibition introduces the Lusail Museum, designed by and currently under development in Lusail City, Doha. The new museum will draw on its world-class collection of 19th century paintings, archaeological artefacts, photography, film, decorative arts and much more to ask critical questions about movement, exchange and identities in the Indian Ocean World, rooted in the home of Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani, the Founder of Qatar.

We really enjoyed working alongside the Lusail Museum team, helping to shape the narrative and media approach for this exhibition – congratulations to all those involved!

The film star Anna May Wong will be the first Asian American on US Currency – more than 300 million Wong quarters are expected to be created.

Born in 1905 in Chinatown, Los Angeles, Anna became the first Chinese American Hollywood movie star, winning international acclaim.

While she was widely considered one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood, her career was restricted by the limited, and often stereotypical, roles available for Asian American actors.

The new quarter honors Wong’s impressive career but also the difficulties she faced trying to secure meaningful roles as an Asian American actress.

In 2015, British astronaut Tim Peake took apple pips from Isaac Newton’s apple tree to the International Space Station to investigate the impact of space travel on seed growth. Today, one of eight saplings grown from these pips will be planted at Catalyst Science Discovery Centre and Museum in Widnes, Cheshire.

Earlier this year, we created a temporary exhibition for Catalyst, inspired by workshops we conducted with local school children. Tim has sent a special video message to be included in the exhibition which will be played for the first time today.

We can't wait to hear Tim's inspiring words for the next generation of young scientists.
