History of the World in a Hundred Objects

Synopsis

Neil MacGregor, British Museum Director tells the story of humanity over two million years through 100 manmade objects, all from the Museum’s collection. In this 20 CD set of the landmark BBC Radio 4 series, MacGregor views objects as prisms through which to explore past worlds and the lives of the men and women who lived in them. The range is enormous and each chapter immerses the listener in a past civilisation accompanied by a well-informed guide.
