#Massachusetts holds a day of fasting in memory of the colonists it falsely executed for #WitchCraft. ๐
I feel like they could've done more than just skip lunch to atone for the whole "#SalemWitchTrials" thing, but maybe that's just me? ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ

If you'd celebrated #WorldOceansDay in the late #17C, you might have gone to say hello to this Spotfin Burrfish from the original @AshmoleanMuseum collection.
You can still spot him today in our Entrance Gallery display about the museum building.
