This week we're finally getting around to discussing all things Bridgerton, from the images and objects that make up the show's material cultures, to its sense of historical accuracy (or lack thereof!), and how it represents a range of identities both historical and contempory. We also talk about Regencycore, and both Caroline and Serena share their experiences of Bridgerton-themed parties. Enjoy!

London Making Now at the Museum of London
This week, we're joined by Dr Danielle Thom and Dr Lucie Whitmore to talk about their exhibition, London Making Now, currently on show at the Museum of London. We chat about how the show explores London's diverse histories of craft, industry and making, and the exciting links to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that many of the objects on display conjure. Catch the show before it closes on the 24th of February!

Festive Special
Join us this week for a very special festive edition of the Travelling Sisterhood of Art Historians podcast. First up, we (drunkenly) talk about some wintery images and objects, Christmas traditions, and our love for the Muppets' Christmas Carol. Then we're joined by our brilliant guests Sarah Coomer and Dr Jane Suzanne Carroll, who discuss why Christmas is the perfect time for a ghost story, and what looking at children's books can tell us about material culture, histories of consumption, and Christmas gifts.

Boxes (Crossover episode with Sew What?)
In this very special episode we're joined by the brilliant Isabella Rosner, the host of one of our favourite podcasts, Sew What?, to discuss our favourite historical boxes. Expect lots of innuendo, plus discussion of issues like craft and amateurism, historical accuracy (we don't believe in it), colonialism, and objects as potentially unstable source materials for our understanding of the past.
