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.Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the National Art Pass – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country. The podcast is produced by Whistledown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

episode 2: Fern Brady at the Roman Baths
Comedian Fern Brady takes her boyfriend Conor to the Roman Baths in Bath, where they discover how the Romans’ ‘curse tablets’ compare to irate Facebook statuses of today, look at the representation of sexuality in Roman times, and even get to taste a sample of the water. During their visit they consider what connects us with the Romans through time, and how people have used the Baths as a meeting place for thousands of years.
Series 5 of Meet Me at the Museum was recorded in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines.
