The Museums That Make Us: Derby - The Museum of Making

Series 1, episode 6

Neil MacGregor tours museums that grapple with the power and purpose of the 18th and 19th centuries, beginning in Derby, at the heart of the Industrial Midlands, where factory production began. Although the museum's collection includes a massive Rolls Royce Jet engine and a deconstructed Toyota car, the object they've chosen to illustrate their ambitions is a huge Harrison clock mechanism that used to run the city's Guildhall Turret clock
