COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A great companion to the podcast or vice versa submitted by AngelaA2 on June 30, 2019, 8:21pm This book follows the Podcast by Neil McGregor almost word for word. However, here you can reliably find photos of the objects as well as companion objects. Not all of the objects are not actually available online for viewing!

Coming off his phenomenal success of "History of the World in 100 Objects" McGregor does not disappoint. His series on German history through objects is next.
