Actor and writer Lolita Chakrabarti takes her friend, artist Sara Shamma, to the Horniman Museum & Gardens in London, where they explore a collection that’s full of surprises. As they wander the galleries and grounds, the unusual items they discover prompt conversations about their inspirations as artists, the stories we tell about the past, and memories of time spent together as friends and neighbours. And – they even make a furry friend on the Animal Walk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
