Series 1: Episode 4



Playing her part in BBC Arts #MuseumPassion season, Mary examines what the future holds for museums post-lockdown, venturing out of her study to the British Museum. On her first visit since she was made a trustee, she gets to work taking some miniature medieval masterpieces, the Lewis Chessmen, out of their lockdown storage. She also surprises the first visitors on opening day as she takes on the role of museum guide.\n\nNovelist Ian Rankin shows off his favourite Edinburgh museum, the Writer’s Museum, and to round off, Mary debates with V&A East’s Gus Casely-Hayford, sociologist Tiffany Jenkins and teacher and libraries champion Bobby Seagull how best to respond to a world that has changed beyond recognition.
