The British Museum, Curator’s Corner

 


I had the privilege of visiting The British Museum about thirty years ago. It is a beautiful and fascinating place. I saw the expected things like The Rosetta Stone and the Dead Sea Scrolls, but I was also introduced to the purposeful fragility of Japanese art. Scrolling around YouTube I discovered Curator’s Corner, and I have enjoyed it ever since. Curators at the British Museum choose their favorite object and then explain it, often making it your new favorite historical object.

There is something for everyone. Go and see.
