“Working in a museum has given me a connection to people - to the rest ...” — Lucy Worsley Quote

Working in a museum has given me a connection to people - to the rest of humanity - that I never had before.

From creating a new sovereign to affairs of the heart, majestic moments to everyday life, when monarchy wants to send a message it uses a photograph.

People often misuse the term 'Regency' to describe art or antiques dating from a vague period between the 1790s and the 1830s, but technically the period only lasted between 1811 and 1820.

Lots of items that survive from the past are high-status, valuable things that people have treasured.

Being a historian, if only for the day, teaches you useful things like judgment, and the ability to detect when someone is lying to you.

I think the most important thing about dance music is the connection. If you put 80,000 people together, no one knows each other, and once the music starts, everyone loves each other. That doesn't happen with a lot of genres. If you go to a hip-hop club, it's not like when one songs comes on that everyone suddenly loves each other.

I don't like to work with people I don't have any connection with.

All through childhood, I wrote verses and mysteries. There is, for me, one connection: structure. My poetry is metrical, rhyming.

There has been talk in Europe about American hegemony being somehow based upon the use of the dollar in the world. I just don't see that connection at all.
