British Museum Curator Neil Wilkin spends a lot of his time thinking about metal – he’s Curator of the Bronze Age. Was seeing bronze for the first time like the internet or 3D printing? Does he secretly enact Game of Thrones with the objects?
Neil has been working with UCL and members of the public to create 3D models of Bronze Age dirks (large ceremonial swords). This will help us to understand how these weapons were created and, in some instances, destroyed.
Curator’s Corner is the British Museum’s first YouTube series, and was selected from a number of potential series proposed by the Museum in December 2015: [ Ссылка ]
New episodes of Curator's Corner come out every other Wednesday.
