The Museum of Curiosity, formerly titled
The Professor of Curiosity, is a
comedy panel game on
BBC Radio 4 that was first broadcast on 20 February 2008. It is hosted by
John Lloyd (Professor of Ignorance at the
University of Buckingham, and later at
Southampton Solent University). He acts as the head of the (fictional) titular museum, while a panel of three guests – typically a comedian, an author and an academic – each donate to the museum an ‘object’ that fascinates them. The radio medium ensures that the suggested exhibits can be absolutely anything, limited only by the guests’ imaginations.
