I'd like to think that there is some kind of joined up thinking that we could explore somehow, on any scale, that might be beneficial for the collection and the organisation

This makes me so sad. As a former #Fitzrovia I think it’s fair to say the neighbourhood is barely recognisable anymore. ⁦@PollocksMuseum⁩ was one of those extra special places. I hope it finds a new home. Pollock’s Toy Museum forced to close ianvisits.co.uk/articles/pol…

Very saddened by this news. I loved visiting the museum when I was writing Life in Miniature for @penswordbooks back in 2019. Let's hope a new home can be found as soon as possible @PollocksMuseum
