In 2010 Neil Ferguson, Director of the British Museum, presented a series on BBC Radio 4 entitled The History of the World in a Hundred Objects, based on material in the British Museum’s collection. Lyme Regis Museum complemented the programmes with a series of talks:...
..The History of Lyme in Ten Objects. In the event the Museum’s talks covered 17 objects drawn from the Museum’s collections and the speakers have kindly agreed to write up their talks, which are now presented on this web page as 16 papers.
Series Editors: Margaret Batt and Richard Bull, Series Devised by: Thea Hawksworth, Photographs sourced by Richard Bull mostly from the Museum’s collection
