"ooooh, thanks! Looks like it’s on Googly-moogly."

Cool!! There was a second season earlier this year too. I'm fascinated by programs like this. I was amazed at the number of conservation experts that work for V&A. They have many who specialize in specific areas, like textiles, paintings, statues, paper, gems, etc.

This is another interesting series. Fiona Bruce from Antiques Roadshow UK, and art specialist Philip Mould work to track down the provenance of unsigned art works that might actually be missing masterpieces. Part of the show consists of art restorers, stripping away the varnish, and over painting, also scanning the paintings in order to determine whether the painting is an original, or a forgery.

Fake or Fortune

Then there's this interesting tv series that searches for missing British artworks:

Britain's Lost Masterpieces

Each season of this particular series tells the story of a specific house in Britain from it's construction, through the years of it's occupancy to the present time. It features a detailed history of each of the families who lived in the homes over the years.

A House Through Time

The series title for the London Natural History Museum tv series is:

Natural History Museum: World of Wonder

I listened to perhaps half of 1:1, and it was to that point about dolls and fashion dresses. I plan to try it on Roku tonight.
