BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, British Museums special

Special programme live from the British Museum.

Front Row is live from the British Museum to announce the Art Fund Museum of the Year shortlist, and to debate the future of museums with the new directors of the BM and the V&A.

In a live programme from the Nereid Gallery in the British Museum, John Wilson is joined by Hartwig Fischer, director of the British Museum, Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A, Sarah Munro, director of Baltic, and Stephen Deuchar, Director of the Art Fund. After the announcement of the Art Fund Museum of the Year shortlist, the panel will debate the current and future role for museums and galleries in Britain, with particular attention to how they are funded, and how to make them relevant to the people of Britain today.
