Why do some museum exhibitions achieve legendary status? Why are some shows still talked and thought about long after they are over? From Tutankhamen (1972) to Francis Bacon (1988), from the Surrealists exhibition (1923) to Sensation (1997), in every episode I discuss a show that changed everything with an expert.
