Meet Me at the Museum

Benjamin Zephaniah at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery

Writer and poet Benjamin Zephaniah explores Birmingham Museum &amp; Art Gallery with his friend Robert, where they reminisce about growing up in the city, the people who’ve shaped it, and Birmingham’s cultural and political history. Together they look at Benjamin’s first-ever typewriter, where his journey as a writer began, artefacts from important protests, and a very special installation – an original curry house booth. Series 5 of Meet Me at the Museum was recorded in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines.  Hosted on Acast.

Famous faces take their best mate, their mum, their neighbour (whoever they want) for an afternoon at a favourite museum or gallery. As well as getting a peek behind the scenes, seeing what makes a museum tick, it's also the starting point for some great conversations about life, the universe and everything. As well as a chance to eat lots of cake in the cafe. <a href="https://www.artfund.org/whats-on/meet-me-at-the-museum" target="_blank">Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund</a>, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the <a href="https://www.artfund.org/national-art-pass" target="_blank">National Art Pass</a> – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country.
