Catherine Eagleton, British Museum
By Dave Birch posted Jul 20 2011 at 8:56 PMCatherine Eagleton is the curator of "modern" (ie, last 300 years) money at the British Museum. The Museum is about to revamp their money exhibition, thanks to sponsorship from Citi. The new Citi Monet Gallery will cover the history of money from 2000 BCE to the present day, and I can't wait to check it out when it opens in 2012. With all that going on, it seemed like a good time to pop in see Catherine. In this podcast, she talks about her plans to add digital money to the exhibition and reflects on the complexity.
