About this listen
Sunday Times best-selling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bill Bryson, teams up with The Science Museum to celebrate the ideas and inventions of the incurably curious.
Across this five-episode series, Bill Bryson, with the help of The Science Museum's curators, takes us object-by-object through some of the museum's lesser known inventions and discoveries - and the human stories behind them.
Discover how a teenage inventor, a pig's head, a lump of plywood and a famous British record label made medical history or how some inventions simply happen by accident. This 'museum for your ears' looks at how experimentation, competition, hard work and a desire to change our lives for the better have contributed to the progress of mankind.

Bits and pieces from the London Museum of Science
one of the things that is always fascinated me of a big museums is what don't we get to see, and what stories don't we get to hear about. this behind-the-scenes look at curators favourite items makes me want to go back.

Bryson delivers vocally as fabulously he writes
I have yet to be disappointed with any of Bill Bryson's work. I was a bit surprised when he opened with his first few lines of script, as I had never heard him vocally. Having never considered his vocal characteristics when reading his work I am excited to read anything of his that hasn't found it's way to me.
Thank you Bill.
