Welcome to Remus! In this issue of Remus, we’re exploring art through the ages. You can find art in every part of the world throughout history: it’s been part of human culture for as long as there have been humans. We’ll take a closer look at the Renaissance artist Michelangelo (the human not the Ninja turtle), explore the art in the British Museum galleries and have a go at creating your own masterpieces. You can enjoy all of Remus – or head straight to the pages for your age group! Grab your pencil and paintbrush – and let’s explore! Njeri, Editor
