Professor Hutton's Curiosities
Britain has a rich history of museums, but there are many full of history and curious objects that are not so well so known. Most of these 'secret' Museums are housed in small buildings, tucked away from the mainstream in hidden corners of our cities. The brand new and exclusive 12-part series takes viewers on a journey with enthusiastic academic and historian, Professor Ronald Hutton, to the unsung gems of British museums. Each episode features a different museum that is bursting with little known history. Professor Hutton visits little known places all over the country, including the Magic Circle museum; the Grant museum of Zoology, which houses a fascinating and macabre Victorian skeletons and remains in jars; Pollock's Toy museum; and Egyptian mummies inside the Petrie Museum.

4) The Petrie Museum
The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology based at University College in London, houses an estimated 80,000 objects, making it one of the greatest collections of Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology in the world. It illustrates life in the Nile Valley from prehistory through the time of the pharaohs, and up to the Roman period. The bulk of the collection was sold to the University by the eminent archaeologist, Sir William Flinders Petrie in 1913. The collection includes one of the earliest pieces of linen from ancient Egypt, one of the earliest known examples of monumental sculpture, and the oldest known wills on papyrus paper. Petrie was fascinated with everyday life in Egypt, not just the Pharaohs, so the museum is packed with lots of little charming items that you don't see elsewhere. Tracy Golding, the Museum Manager, shows Professor Hutton around.
