Thread: Very pleased this is beginning to happen @nationaltrust. I& #39;ve not been to many National Trust houses because, like the NI lectures, they haven& #39;t felt like they are for for me or my family. https://twitter.com/nationaltrust/status/1297429122126422016">https://twitter.com/nationalt...

But i visited Penrhyn Castle with my partner& #39;s family last year and found being in the house v uncomfortable. It was challenging to articulate to them my discomfort because the info i was looking up on my phone was nowhere in the house.

The v knowledgeable tour guides hardly mentioned the slavery links, but there were objects v clearly linked (inc paintings of plantations). I asked at the visitor service desk at the end about the lack of info, and they seemed v aware.

They told me there had been an exhibition the year before, but there was v little legacy of this (i think one text panel, which i missed). I work in a museum with similar issues with interpretation and understand it is a massive task, but that this wasn& #39;t good enough

So this announcement is a really positive step!
