Crushing on the Past - The #historicalvalentine Comeback

Do you go weak at the knees when you see your crush discussed in a museum exhibit? Do you tremble as you see their picture in a history book? Or are you spending the next few weeks hopelessly constructing a time machine so you can spend valentines smooching the hotty? You must have a thing for a historical figure. 

Here at the Ministry we feel ya, and have spent previous valentines lusting over collectors, surgeons and cooks in the hope that one day we could spend V-day in their arms.

 This year we want to know  about your inappropriate historical lover and calling for submissions for our  #historicalvalentines series. It could be anyone who gets you going from an early museum director to a historical TV character, we want to post as many love letters to the historical babes as possible on our website.

All submissions to to be sent to curiositycollect@gmail.com by the 7th February
