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.



5) Leighton House Museum
The Professor's first stop this week is at the Leighton House Museum. It was the former home and studio of the leading Victorian artist, Frederic, Lord Leighton. He bought it for just £4500 in 1866, slowly adding and extending it. Next, Professor Hutton pays a visit to The Museum of the Order of St. John. Based in St. John's Gate, the building is a 16th century gatehouse that once formed the entrance to the much older Priory of Clerkenwell, once the English headquarters of the 11th century Order of St. John who went out to Jerusalem as part of the Crusades.
