A History of the World in 100 Objects

Neil MacGregor from the British Museum picks up a coin, a tool, a statue, whatever - and tells you the story of human civilization through it. Sounds simple. It's not. Each fifteen-minute episode makes history feel tangible and surprising in ways that textbooks never managed. You'll suddenly care deeply about a 3,000-year-old clay tablet. Makes you want to visit every museum on earth and actually read the little plaques. One of the BBC's absolute finest productions and it hasn't aged a day.
