Art Fund have launched their research into what teachers want from museums so that their pupils can have great learning experiences.
Harry Ferguson's TE20 Little Grey Fergie tractor revolutionised farming in Britain and around the world, from 1946. Harry's invention of the three-point hydraulic linkage for attaching implements remains the basis of modern tractor design, as the depth of the plough could be adjusted to plough more efficiently. His aim was that this tractor should help to eliminate poverty and hunger, because the tractor could plough more quickly and with less effort than a horse or hand plough - an acre an hour, instead of an acre a day with a horse.
These deckchairs are beneath the starry ceiling of Carlilse Cathedral, where (until 2 September) visitors can Rest Under the Stars, take some time out from the everyday cares and stresses, and listen to a sound installation created by Prism Arts and sound artist Tim Shaw. Prism Arts delivers arts programmes to empower people with disabilities, and the Prism artists created the textile designs for the chairs and bean bags, and worked with Tim Shaw to make the sound installation.
This is the Little Grey Fergie TE20 tractor at the Heritage Centre, Bellingham, designed by Harry Ferguson and built in England from 1946. His aim was to make agriculture more efficient to reduce hunger and poverty. The three-point hydraulic linkage for attaching implements remains the basis of modern tractor design, and the depth of the plough could be adjusted to plough more efficiently.
