The Art Fund’s podcast Meet Me At the Museum features actor John Lowden at the National Museum of Scotland meeting his friend fellow actor Andrew Rothney.
The pair indulged their love of Scottish history exploring key people and events and their stories. Together they discuss meeting at drama school and a shared love of castles and adventures. Both have taken on roles of historical figures during their acting careers and they discuss their personal connections to artefacts which they find in the Chambers Street museum.
The new series, hosted by Acast, began on 7 October 2021.
New episodes of the podcast will be released each week featuring:
- Actor Jack Lowden at the National Museum of Scotland
- Actor and writer Lolita Chakrabarti at the Horniman Museum and Gardens
- Writer and photographer Caleb Azumah-Nelson at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery
- Deborah Frances-White, comedian and host of The Guilty Feminist podcast, and Russell Tovey, actor and co-host of the Talk Art podcast, at the Design Museum
