From London to Ctesiphon (now Baghdad), and from representations of gender fluid deities from the 3rd century BC to Elizabeth II in 2022, the display focuses on the female rulers, potentates and icons whose stories have often been distorted or diminished over successive centuries and millennia.
Coins are by their very nature a projection of power and propaganda: as physical objects, they can convey economic and diplomatic might, and, artistically, the images they bear present a political, social, and often religious construction of power dynamics. Coins – tiny capsules of history with intrinsic economic and aesthetic value – are the most contemporaneous of objects, bearing witness to the ways in which powerful people of all genders wished to have their power expressed. At the same time, historical narratives have often been written and amended by men – who have frequently minimised the role of women or simplified them to fit stereotypes.
In addition to reviving the stories of the women who shaped religious belief systems, were diminished by the work of historical authors, and were underestimated in their own day, leading to the downfall of their rivals, this exhibition will also explore how the very presentation of gender on numismatic depictions changed through time and cultures.

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful .

My friends cried and shouted that they must come to the stadium to check in! It is indeed extraordinary. As soon as you enter, you can feel the grandeur of the building and the dynamic streamline. It is worth a visit. The photos are particularly grand and interesting!

Birmingham&#39;s Chinatown is one of the better ones in the UK, second only to London&#39;s Chinatown. It is in the center of Birmingham, and transportation is very convenient. There are delicacies from all over the world, and they are very authentic and taste good. If you have been playing in the UK for a long time and are not used to the food, come to Chinatown to satisfy your cravings.
