Night Waves - 07/01/2008

Matthew Sweet takes a tour behind the scenes at the Natural History Museum where the eminent curator, palaeontologist and writer Richard Fortey has worked for almost his whole career. He explains how museum culture has been revolutionised in recent decades. Plus, as Liverpool begins its year as European Capital of Culture, Night Waves draws on the successes and failures of previous holders of the title to assess whether expectations within the city can be met.
