Combining history, folklore, and storytelling, Noah Angell’s Ghosts of the British Museum digs into our imperial past and unmasks the world’s oldest national museum as a site of ongoing conflict, where—under the guise of preservation—restless objects are held against their will.

Join us in Room 124 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Laurel Fricker, PhD candidate in the Interdepartmental Program in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology.
