Museum Pieces Week Three
A Four Week Course
Hello, I’m Wendy Pratt; author and poet. I wrote a memoir, The Ghost Lake, about my experience of living on an ancient extinct glacial lake called Paleolake Flixton in North Yorkshire, and how I found my place in a long line of lake ancestry going back to the palaeolithic. I also wrote a poetry collection, Blackbird Singing at Dusk, a kind of sister project to the memoir.

Now, let’s head into the museum.
This week we are saying goodbye to beautiful New Zealand and heading all the way over to The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, USA.
The museum has a rich and varied collection of objects from around the world. Be careful if you decide to check out heir Youtube channel because when I did I lost half a day to it, it’s so good.
