Lunch Hour Lectures on Tour - 2011 - Video

During 4 Thursdays in June 2011, UCL’s free, public, Lunch Hour Lectures will be uprooted from their usual residence at UCL to go on tour to The British Museum. This summer series of bite-sized Lunch Hour Lectures, featuring introductions by British Museum curators, will discuss 4 topics in bite sized chunks: what archaeology can tell us about climate change; where we are with slowing the spread of HIV; how Greek sculpture has shaped the modern male body; and how we detect forgeries in the art world.
