Sunday Feature: In the Shadow of the Tower (Exhibition Exposed)

Series 1, episode 0

Professor Andrew Hussey travels across Paris to understand how the Eiffel Tower, and the huge World's Fair that gave birth to it, have shaped French culture. Andrew considers the importance of the Exposition Universelle of 1889 cast and its colossal political ambition: to put France back on the world stage as well as to define what it meant to be French and what it meant to be civilised. Andrew is joined by author Eric Hazan, architect Bertrand Lemoine, and novelist and poet Patrick McGuinness
