Had so much fun today talking with early modern researchers about the first version of our Middling Culture virtual room reconstruction. Loads of great responses and suggestions. Thanks to everyone who came along!
Kicking off our second digital day with a great turn out! We’re running a drop-in to share our digital room reconstruction with researchers and those working on historic interiors. Can’t wait for another day of exciting discussions at NGX @NationalGallery

Our digital room is almost complete (🤗) and we wanted to share some of the things we've learned along the way. So, we've created a guide on how to reconstruct an Elizabethan/Jacobean room in 8 (not so easy) steps:

This room is staggeringly immersive & also features ingenious creative expressions/responses from writers & performers.
This pilot day invites #earlymodern researchers to bring their questions/share their thoughts and play about with it in its first outing:
**Opportunity to road test our immersive digital parlour room**
What would you ask if stood where your research subjects wrote, socialised, or slept?
Bring your questions & thoughts on 8th Sep. to National Gallery X (places v. limited, so do book!):

This has given me much pleasure after a particularly difficult day. @EllaMcHawk you are a true master craftsperson! Wonderful to see @AHewitt25's research stimulating the creation of more decorative arts.
How did Shakespeare decorate his home?
Here’s an edible snapshot of the patterns, textures, and materials that furnished the houses of the early modern English ‘upper middling sort’. 🍪

Great to see my new @History_Bham colleague talking to the media about the newly-released census data
Incredibly sad to hear this. Chris was so supportive and enthusiastic about our middling culture research, and such a great provider of discoveries of all things early modern english vernacular. Grateful to have learned from him.
So very sad. In addition to his gentle assistance with our historians’ views on culture, he was unfailingly generous with his deep knowledge of furniture history. Few people with such a wide range of skills and so happy to share them - he’ll be greatly missed…
