Museum - Series 1 - Shopping for Posterity

Documentary following the events behind the scenes at the British Museum. This programme follows curator Chris Spring's mission to buy La Bouche du Roi, an anti-slavery installation made of petrol cans. He can't afford it without help from the Art Fund, but will his pitch result in success? Meanwhile Philip Attwood is on a Rotterdam barge buying contemporary medals, and Judy Rudoe receives a Soviet-style gift from the modern entrepreneurial Russian industry.
