He was also a major presence at the BM for decades, trustee for the museum of mankind who visited a warder in hospital who had fallen through the roof- when senior staff didn’t. Always alert at trustee meetings and supportive of what young curators and educators like me were trying to do. The person that all potential donors wanted to set next to; a great collector who lent Japanese pots to the BM and ethnography to Leicester where he grew up. A man with a piercing intellect who asked the awkward but necessary questions. Can you train trustees to be like him?
Sounds amazing! Always appreciate what you share. Thanks!
I want him to narrate my life
