Every object around us has a story. We use paper, books, coffee, chocolate, calendars, compasses, coins and hundreds of other everyday objects without ever wondering where they came from or how they transformed the course of civilisation.
The Origin of Things invites you to explore the hidden history of the objects that quietly shaped our world, travelling from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to imperial China, classical Greece, Rome and beyond.
