Scientists are looking to compile an international archive of how historical objects smell.

In what has been described as a ‘breakthrough project’ the joint Polish-Slovenian initiative will analyse the odours and their historical significance in an attempt to develop a new interpretation and a new narrative to describe the artefacts.

Coming up in the show, host John Beauchamp talks to Professor Tomasz Sawoszczuk from the Krakow University of Economics about the so-called Odotheka.

Coming up in this week’s review:

• Poland expects up to 40,000 Covid cases in worst scenario – minister
• Closure of Poland's ski slopes unlikely this winter
• Poland completes Baltic section of new gas pipeline
