Summary
Join Professor John Lloyd and curators Jimmy Carr, Humphrey Ker, Phill Jupitus and Sarah Millican as they plunge down the badger hole of ignorance in a search for the universe's most mind-boggling oddnesses.
The Museum of Curiosity is BBC Radio 4's monumental comedy edifice and the only one with gargoyles in the foyer. It allows nothing inside that doesn't make you scratch your head, stroke your chin or, at the very least, go 'hmm'. Fortunately, helping to fill its almost vacant plinths is a gathering of the world's most original minds. Among the guests bearing donations to the museum in these 25 episodes are Al Murray, Jo Brand, Pamela Stephenson-Connolly, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Sara Pascoe, Mark Watson, Richard Ingrams, Richard Herring, Cleo Rocos, Paul Sinha, David Frost, Richard Osman, Sandi Toksvig, Rich Hall, Clive Anderson, Neil Innes, Ken Dodd, Henry Blofeld, Tim Smit, Rufus Hound, Matt Lucas, Susan Calman and many more. In addition to all the episodes from series 5-8, the 2015 'Coding Special' is also included.

missing episode problem nearly fixed! (March 2018)
Any additional comments?
Very enjoyable as ever. The problems of the missing episodes from last year were very annoying. Just listened again and all the 4 series are now complete and in order, but the Coding Special is gone. Oh well...at least it means Audible paid some attention to the comments - maybe they will add in the special at some time.

Brilliant
I stumbled onto these shows by accident and I am so glad I did. Another brilliant show devised by John Lloyd, highly recommended. If you like these I would also recommend you listen to the "There's No Such Thing As A Fish" podcast that the QI team put together including Dan Schreiber.

Still missing episodes - as of 30.Aug.17
This is such a great series, though shame they still haven’t corrected the file as it is missing two episodes.
Missing = series 5, episode 2 (instead we’ve got series 4, episode 2)
Missing = series 8, episode 5 (series 8, episode 6 is duplicated at end)
Whilst this may be annoying, I do recommend getting it. V.enjoyable.

great show poorly edited
Fans of QI will love this show. Each episode gives us experts in various fields offer up an item to be held in the infinitely elongated and random museum.
This show would be great if were not for the small and petty gripe i have with the sound quality.
Nobody seems to have told the guests about speaking into the microphones in front of them.
Every now and then the sound drops so quiet its hard to hear what is being said.
This happens enough that I gave up trying to listen to the whole series.
Its a shame, because other than that its a funny and informative show.
