Episode 3: Foundling Children, Faithful Friends, and the Sorry Tale of the Idiot Prince

Things in Jars | A History and Museums Podcast - A podcast by Curators Melissa and Poppy

Categories:

In this episode (part two of two), curators Melissa and Poppy continue their exploration of poignant stories from museum collections. We'll be picking up our discussion of artefacts and exhibitions that have moved us (and our museum’s visitors) deeply: from the small, unassuming tokens that symbolised the lasting bond between a separated mother and child, to the legendary tale of one very good dog – and the ‘idiot’ prince! And if you have any pesky spirits at home, this week’s item spotlight will give you some ideas about how to keep them busy…Thanks for listening!
