The National Gallery’s vibrant podcast returns to tell the story of a rare, sparkling and glistening colour – or should we say material?
It's been called the tears of the gods, the sweat of the sun, a barbaric relic and a universal language. Join us as we trace the use of gold across the ages! From the tombs of Ancient Egypt to Renaissance altarpieces, all the way to a currently missing golden toilet.
The first episode in our three-part miniseries released on Wednesday 19 November 2025. Episodes released weekly, finishing on 3 December 2025.
‘Stories in Colour’ is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
