The National Portrait Gallery has acquired Lucian Freud's archive. It has been valued at £2.9m. More here.

The announcement comes in Archive Appreciation Week. Which is an excuse to show you my favourite document from the NPG's archive - a list of rats killed in World War 2 in the Gallery, and how they were killed. THe second one down is the best.
