Museum of the Year winner announced

By BBC Radio 4

For the first time ever, breaking (known commercially as break dancing) is going to be featured as a sport at the main Olympic Games when they are hosted in Paris this summer. But what exactly is breaking and where did it come from? Tom Sutcliffe speaks to DJ Renegade, one of the world’s top breaking judges who came up with the original judging system the Olympics competition is based on and Crazy Smooth, one of Canada’s top street dancers.

We visit the Museum of the Home in East London to speak with the museum’s director Sonia Solicari about their new Rooms Through Time: 1878-2049 exhibition which features displays of seven distinct homes of people who lived in that area, and explores how migration and belonging shaped their home lives.

Presenter and judge Vick Hope announces the winner of the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2024.

Playwright Mark Ravenhill explains why he's offering online classes for aspiring writers.

Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Claire Bartleet
