The Museum 1 сезон 10 серия — Beyond Bloomsbury

In the British Museum's Great Court a spectacular 18 foot image of the Hindu goddess Durga is being crafted from straw, clay and paint. At the climax of the Durga Puja festival the goddess is immersed in the River Thames - the first time such an event has happened in the UK. Each year the museum takes thousands of artefacts around the country. Jill Cook encourages people in Norwich to handle prehistoric axes, whilst Irving Finkel displays the famous Lewis Chessmen in Leicester.
