A new Museum Monday video will drop tomorrow! (Yes, I am just as surprised as you are lmao) This one is a special tier ranking episode. Any guesses what the mess in question is? 🤔

Can anyone guess which historical musical is the focus of the next video?

There is so much to uncover about these queens that it's difficult to decide what should make it into the analysis. I hope you think it will be worth the extra time to get it right!

You might notice there is a little channel redecoration happening (it appears it is time for my annual rebrand). There'll be all the same content as usual, just with a new name and look!

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful holiday time! I’ve been lucky enough to see some lovely Christmas sights and even some snow ❄️☃️ I’ll see you in the new year (let’s manifest that 2023 will finally be a good one)!!

A new video is coming this evening with a format that I'm trying for the first time. Can anyone guess what it is?

I want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who has joined from my Horrible Histories and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas videos while I've been away! I hope you find the new video interesting 😊

As you've probably gathered, I have taken a break from YouTube. I've had a busy (and sometimes stressful) time over the past few months and I was struggling to find the time for reading and researching. So I decided to combine this with a small mental health break and now I'm feeling so much more happy, confident and motivated!

Are any of you guys Bridgerton fans? I feel like the only person who hasn't seen it! Would you recommend it? And would you be interested in a video about it? (Sorry for so many questions on a Sunday night 😅)

Bridgerton has sparked so many discussions about accuracy and representation in period dramas which obviously I am absolutely here for! 😍 shhhhh don't tell anyone but I'm finding that more intriguing than the show itself!

hi everyone and thank you for joining me on my Youtube journey!!! I'm grateful for every one of you :) here is a little bit about me in case you're wondering:

offline, I'm archiving or researching in museums and I have an academic background in Public History. here are some projects I've worked on: museummimi.wordpress.com/portfolio

online, I like to make videos discussing less known stories from the past or addressing historical internet myths. I also make video essays about representations of the past in media and popular culture.

you can find me:
- here on Youtube
- on Twitter: twitter.com/museum_mimi
- and Instagram: www.instagram.com/museum_mimi

I put a lot of time and consideration into my videos (hence the upload schedule) so if you would like to help me improve the video quality, speed up the process or otherwise support me, then here is my Buy me a Coffee profile: www.buymeacoffee.com/museum_mimi
(obviously completely optional!)

(I have just discovered that I have a Community tab now and I'm very excited to use it!!)
