I am talking all things c19th with students today, a whistle stop tour of dress & silhouette. It doesn’t come more high #Victorian than this plum pudding of a dress. It looks like a decorated Dundee cake rich in nuts and cherries and thick treacly shades. Mid #1870s @MoMuAntwerp

Today in NJ history:
November 14, 1889; Journalist Nellie Bly (pen name of Elizabeth Seaman) left Hoboken on a steamship to travel around the world in less than 80 days, beating the time in the Jules Verne novel. She succeeded, returning to Jersey City 72 days later.

On February 25, the Ivankiv Historical and Local History Museum was burned. It is not yet confirmed how many of the museum's holdings survived, but the loss is a blow to Ukraine’s cultural history, its collective spirit, and its artistic soul. trib.al/j6qz084

Queen Victoria was born on this day in 1819 at Kensington Palace
To celebrate the bicentenary of her birth we’re looking at some of the historic places named after her: from pubs to parks, streets to statues and even a phantom city

Bees were so important in Early Medieval Ireland that they had their own set of laws the 'Bechbretha'. These judgements covered such topics as ownership of swarms, theft of bee-hives and neighbours' entitlements to honey from a beekeeper #WorldBeeDay

A charming black lace veil decorated with bees, created in France in the 1860s to trim a pretty straw bonnet. The three-dimensional bees are made of straw, probably from Switzerland, black silk thread and beads.

The corset from Elizabeth I's funeral effigy was cleaned and conserved before going on permanent display in the #AbbeyGalleries last year.
It was made to the queen's own pattern especially for the effigy, which was carried at her funeral in 1603.
