So last night I learned that some pieces of World Cultures jewellery got stolen from a museum I used to work at and I'm oddly upset about it.
I didn't expect such an emotional response to seeing items I'd held, condition checked, packed, and done light work on go missing.
Has anyone else had this weird vibe? I see #HeritageCrime reported all the time but this was my first gut-punch reaction (there was anger too, of course).
😕

Anyone interested in an @artcrime group? Only a few #ArtCrime, #ArtLaw, #HeritageCrime, and #IllicitAntiquities people are here so far, but why not group the group as we group?
