The Power of Images

Living With The Gods Omnibus

Available for over a year

Neil MacGregor continues the omnibus editions of his series on the expression of shared beliefs in communities around the world and across time. In this programme he focuses on images - how they are made, re-made and endlessly reproduced, how they can carry different meanings, and can change the way we behave. He also considers the spiritual communities who reject the image and focus instead on the word. Producer Paul Kobrak Produced in partnership with the British Museum Photograph (c) The Trustees of the British Museum.
