Meet Marc Fennell, Author of STUFF THE BRITISH STOLE
In the days of the British Empire, things were taken that probably shouldn’t have been. So how come they’re still in museums, galleries and some much stranger places?
British museums are home to millions of fascinating objects. The trouble is, a whole bunch of them were stolen in wildly dodgy ways.
With wit, empathy and unflinching honesty, Stuff the British Stole reveals the true stories behind remarkable objects in the world’s most celebrated museums. These artifacts tell the stories of power, resistance and survival that have shaped our modern world.
Part travelogue, part true crime, part reckoning with history, this is a book about how the hell we got here.
Marc Fennell is a Walkley-winning journalist and an AACTA-nominated filmmaker. He is the creator of the popular television series & podcast Stuff the British Stole for ABC Australia and CBC Canada. He is also seen each weeknight as the quizmaster of SBS TV’s iconic game show Mastermind.
Cost: $5 (includes beverage on arrival)
