Sale of Northampton’s Sekhemka statue sets dangerous precedent. A year ago, Northampton borough council and the Marquis of Northampton sold, for a record price, a highlight of the Northampton Museum: the 4,500-year-old statue of Sekhemka. This unusual joint sale and share of proceeds was arranged because no one knows who owns the statue, or how and when it left Egypt or entered the museum. Archival research may yet reveal that the sale contravenes international law. Posted on July 30, 2015.

Hokusai: The End of an Era - Sarah Thompson, assistant curator, Japanese Prints; curator, “Hokusai”. Hokusai died in 1849, just four years before the opening of Japanese ports to the West dramatically altered Japanese culture. See how Hokusai’s art perspicaciously hinted of things to come, including a fascination with technology, curiosity about the outside world, and growing sense of Japan as a nation.

Alfred Kinsey is best known for his groundbreaking work in human sexuality, but he came to this specialty relatively late in his career. For the first act of his academic life, Kinsey studied entomology and botany. In particular, he studied gall wasps: tiny, solitary wasps who inject their eggs into plant tissues, inducing growths known as “galls” that provide food and protection to their larvae.
