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.



7)  The Cartoon Museum 
The Cartoon Museum opened to the public back in 2009. On show are some of the very finest examples of British cartoons, caricature, and comic art from the last two hundred years, including rare and original artwork on loan from The Beano and the Dandy, as well as works by Searle, Scarfe, Steadman and Steve Bell. The Cartoon Museum does exactly what it says on the door. It's literally crammed full of every conceivable British Cartoonist over the last two centuries. Anita O'Brien is an encyclopaedia of all things cartoon, and is Professor Hutton's guide. The Museum Of Brands, Packaging and Advertising is tucked away down a cobbled mews in the heart of Notting Hill Gate. Intriguingly, it presents the collection of just one man, consumer historian, Robert Opie, who saw the need to record the history of the everyday products around us. Starting at the age of sixteen with a packet of Munchies, Robert built up the collection that now extends to all aspects of daily life. From toys, magazines, and soap powder, to sweets, hair spray and television sets. It now features a staggering twelve thousand original items, and the tour starts back in the Victorian era. Robert Opie shows Professor Hutton around.
