'Night at the Museum' Soars with Young Talent for HTSI, Imaged by Laurence Ellis AOC Fashion

HTSI Magazine delivers a complex and utterly spectacular fashion story ‘Night at the Museum’, shot in the restricted-access conservation rooms at the top of London’s National Gallery. What a magnificent visual feast for our eyes and imaginations.

The National Gallery is a museum funded by the British people, not inherited collections from wealthy donors. In advance of its 200th anniversary celebrations [ka NG200] kicking off on May 10, 2024, HTSI features this sublime fashion story shot by Laurence Ellis [IG] with models Jordan Whittingham, Louis Mercurol, Onyinyechi Chijioke, and Rachael Carruthers.

One of the most famous paintings scheduled to be on display in 2024 is ‘The Rokeby Venus’ by Velázquez. I was sick a couple days ago, reading the NYT article about climate activists representing ‘Just Stop Oil’ attacking the painting with hammers. HTSI references the incident as well.

I support the activists’ demands of dislodging fossil fuel companies from their role as museum patrons in exchange for rich people turning down the heat; and my understanding is that BP is largely absent now in Britain after ending a 27-year sponsorship of the British Museum.

Are they now committed to destroying priceless artworks all over the world until we shut down all use of fossil fuels? Anne will have to read their manifesto.
