Neil MacGregor explores what was happening in Northern Europe 2,500 years ago: some drinking, it seems.
Neil MacGregor's history of the world recounted through objects at the British Museum arrives in Northern Europe 2,500 years ago.
Neil explores the early world of the Celts through two bronze drinking flagons, considered to be the most important and earliest examples of Celtic art. Writer Jonathan Meades and Barry Cunliffe, one of the world's leading experts on this period, help describe the Celts, dissect the stereotypes and consider their celebrated love of drink.
