The British Museum | Objects of Crisis: A modest and humble lamp @britishmuseum | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 12 hours ago
In this time of global crisis, we have been examining the collection of the British Museum for objects that speak to different kinds of crisis, both global and personal, to reflect on the resilience of humanity when faced with adversity.
In this episode Museum director, Hartwig Fischer speaks with keeper of the Middle East, Jonathan Tubb, about what a humble lamp can tell us about climate change. This was recorded in lockdown so please excuse any quality issues.
