Posted on 18 January 2010 | Comments Off

The BBC has teamed up with museums across Great Britain and Northern Ireland for an ambitious multi-media history project. A History of the World aims to collect objects with local and global resonances, with a hope of providing different perspectives on the events which shaped our world. The centrepiece of the project is a landmark series on BBC Radio 4, A History of the World in 100 Objects, which tells the story of 100 objects from the British Museum’s collection. A website has also been set up where people can submit their choices of objects which bring to life the momentous events from the past.
