Some of the fascinating stops you’ll make include a visit to the very first item acquired by the museum in 1870, a once-stolen Greek statue, and the tooth of Mary Magdalen in a Renaissance reliquary. As you walk among priceless artifacts, Bringley will share behind-the-scenes stories of how the museum is run and what happens in the backstage areas where the public isn’t allowed.
