‘Stories in Colour’ is a new podcast from the National Gallery telling the histories of one of the most vibrant and influential technologies. These are the stories of how colour has changed the world.
The series spans from science and ancient design, trade and conflict, art and religion, the artist’s palette, viral digital trends, popular culture and modern advertising.
Hear from curators, scientists, historians, artists, and more experts, to look at humanity’s efforts to make colour and make meaning with it.
Along the way, see – and hear – the National Gallery’s paintings in a whole new spectrum of light.
‘Stories in Colour’ will be available from 28 May on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
