Thanks for posting! Great to see this dress up close (and I'm glad it's being treated with the care it deserves).

Brilliant, thank you! As an ex-museum curator I find that lovely. And wonderful that it's going on display later in the year.

That's weird. I can't see a thing in the OP. Had to quote it in order to reveal that there was a link and then copy and paste it into youtube to see it.

I have the same issue. YouTube links don't show anymore since a few months (I don't remember exactly when). I found the video above by googling. Weird that this happens with some and not with everyone.

I wonder if it's browser dependent? I can "see" the youtube links just fine and they work using Chrome 84.0.4147.89 on a windows 10 (ver 1909) PC. Also ok using Opera 69.0.3686.77 on the same PC.

Most excellent!
I went to their website to see what other PJH stuff they had. Oddly, the guitar didn't come up, but they have lots of costumes.
Also, they have a painting (but no picture) which sounds most intriguing - has anyone come across this before?

Canvas painting; self portraits by PJ Harvey, Rob Ellis and Mick Harvey. Painted in 2003 in Portugal.
The painting is a portrait depicting PJ Harvey on the left hand side holding an acoustic guitar, with Mick Harvey on the right hand side holding an electric guitar, and Rob Ellis in the background holding a pair of drum sticks with his arms raised above his head. The painting uses mostly primary colours and black.

The final thing worth noting is that you can make an appointment to view items from the collection. Very tempting ...
