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.




8)  The Freud Museum 
The Freud Museum was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they escaped Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938. It remained the family home until Anna Freud, the youngest daughter, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum is Freud's study, faithfully preserved just as it was during his lifetime, containing Freud's remarkable collection of ancient antiquities, his library, his desk and of course his couch. The Museum's curator, Carol Siegel shows Professor Hutton around. Lord's is of course the most famous cricket ground in the world, but it's also home to the MCC Museum, which is the oldest sports museum in the world, containing the most celebrated collection of cricket memorabilia, including the infamous Ashes. The Marylebone Cricket Club, or the MCC as it's known, has been collecting memorabilia since 1864, and the items on display include cricket kit used by legends of the crease, old scorecards and lots of trophies. Look out for a battered copy of the cricketer's 'Bible', Wisden that helped to sustain E.W. Swanton through his captivity in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. Neil Robinson, the Museum's curator shows Professor Hutton around.
