Hello, lovely.

I'm Maria.

And my name is Rory.

Your band 9th score.

Ay, Rory, you're so old.

You're like a dinosaur.

I know, I should probably put myself in the Natural History Museum now.

But before that, let's talk about museums.

Mmm, dear listener, museums!

Do you often visit a museum?

No, uh, oh wow, only when I have to for work really.

I'm going to sound like a complete philistine now,

but having gone to museums once,

I don't often see the point in going back to them.

Even if there's a new collection or something,

I just have other things to do.

When was the last time you visited a museum?

Probably this summer.

In fact, it was.

I took my class to see the Museum of Oxford,

which is a place dedicated to the social history of the city,

for lack of a better term.

tiny, but there was a lot to do, which was quite nice.

Are there many museums in your hometown?

Quite a few, actually, yes.

The first one, in my opinion,

is the McManus Galleries, which sounds like an art gallery,

but is actually a collection of artefacts from around the world,

and they're linked to Dundee,

my hometown, in some way.

I think that's quite cool,

and it's free of charge to get in as well.

Do you think museums are important?

Um, well, it's probably quite important to have these repositories of items connected to people,

places and things, yes.

It can give people a chance to find out something new and develop a sense of connection to whatever the focus is.

But they're not the most important thing by a country mile.

Available for one month.

After one month it goes into our super secret archive.

See you soon!

Rory was talking about galleries and you can say that this MacManus galleries sounds like an art gallery.

You could say that about just about any museum to be honest.

It sounds like a...

Like, for example, maybe we have...

Well, we could say, well,

for example, in my country,

we have Edinburgh Castle, which sounds like it's just a castle,

but it's also a museum as well, a collection of artifacts.

Yeah, or like the Louvre sounds like a museum,

but it's much more than just one museum.

It's this, I don't know, a cultural center.

And a great place to pick up some free art if you're an art robber,

an art thief.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Have you heard the news, dear listener?

That the Louvre was robbed.

Oh, what a joke.

And the joke was like,

oh, the Louvre was robbed and they found the jewels at the British Museum.

I love that.

The British Museum sounds like it's a museum about Britain,

but actually it's a collection of artifacts stolen from around the world.

Yeah, from Louvre, from Peru, from Machu Picchu. From everywhere.

Oh, what a joke.

Yeah, if you haven't heard the news,

go have a read, to be in the know of the events,

like what's going on.

So people are starting talking about,

oh yeah, we need a new film,

how the louvre was robbed you know

and a new sherlock holmes series the next phrase is um

having gone to museums once i don't see the point in going back to them

so we go back to different galleries we go back to museums we visit them again

so yeah nice phrase of up to use the other thing is it's having gone to museums

so it's like oh my god what would

that be like ing form plus third form yeah it's crazy perfect participle we

because like um i've gone to this museum so i've been there once

and i don't understand why i should go back there you see

and we make it more complicated so having gone to this museum once i don't see the point in going back.

The next one is quite nice.

I describe myself as a bit of a Philistine, dear listener.

Someone who is not culturally connected or aware or has very simple opinions about things.

A Philistine is a bit negative,

a person who refuses to see the beauty or the value of art

or culture so i'm a bit of a philistine usually you say you're a bit of a philistine

but it's it's negative it's disapproving

and i think museums can help people feel a sense of

connection yes to the past connection to culture connection to art a sense of connection Ooh,

you're connected to the world.

What else can you have a sense of?

A sense of...

Fashion.

A sense of fashion would be good.

A sense of self or self-awareness.

100

Yeah, a sense of achievement, for example.

101

Ooh, yes.

102

Yay, nice.

103

And, dear listener, we say that we visit a museum or we go to museums.

104

And Rory, what's going on with articles?

105

So do I say I go to a museum,

106

I go to the museum,

107

or just I go to museum? museum.

108

Or I say I go to museums.

109

Definitely not I go to museum.

110

We need some kind of article or something to tell us about the number here.

111

Museums would be many.

112

I go to many museums.

113

That would be like a regular thing.

114

I go to the museum would be talking about a specific museum.

115

So you already need to talk about it before you say that.

116

And then I go to a museum.

117

Well, that would be like when you start to talk about it.

118

Like I go to a museum.

119

It's the natural history museum.

120

Yeah, so you can say just museums.

121

I like museums, I don't like museums,

122

I never go to any museums,

123

or the last time I visited a museum was last week or last year.

124

So museums or maybe like a museum.

125

When was the last time you went to a museum?

126

Oh la la.

127

That's a very good question.

128

Perhaps in summer?

129

I don't even remember.

130

Maria, you philistine.

131

No, no, no, no. I like museums.

132

Like, what about...

133

Does an art gallery count?

134

Does a photo exhibition count?

135

No. Sorry.

136

No, okay, okay.

137

Alright.

138

Yeah, because I went to a photo exhibition to look at photos.

139

Museum.

140

Wow.

141

That's a hard one, isn't it?

142

It is a hard one,

143

because it should be a proper museum, dear listener, yeah?

144

Okay, maybe it was a year ago then, a proper museum.

145

Something like history museum.

146

Yeah, I remember nothing.

147

So there we go.

148

We need to, if you're listening,

149

this is a problem, because if you haven't been to a museum recently,

150

then might be a good time to go to the free museum.

151

And we say that museums have a collection of something.

152

So there is a collection of clothes or a collection of artifacts, different exhibits.

153

And we can also say that this museum is dedicated to the social history of the city.

154

So my favorite museum is Tata-ta,

155

which is dedicated, which is about the history of the city,

156

about the culture, about, I don't know, war.

157

And when we talk about the things in the museum,

158

we talk about the collection.

159

For example, there might be an Egyptian collection,

160

especially if it's the British Museum because they steal things.

161

Maybe one day they will give them back. Who knows?

162

No, no, no. Yeah, you have dinosaurs at the British Museum, right? Do we?

163

I thought you only had them at the Natural History Museum.

164

No, I don't know.

165

I might be mistaken.

166

I think you have some dinosaurs at the British Museum too, no?

167

Maybe.

168

I don't know.

169

I've not been in about 10 years.

170

Yeah, I've been there once.

171

Yeah, amazing.

172

is massive dear listener the british museum in london it's just massive huge yeah

173

and you can say like okay it has a collection of

174

artifacts different exhibits different things from all over the world

175

and it's free of charge yeah the museum is free

176

and i love it about london you know like you go

177

to the national gallery it's free the british museum is free yeah the louvre is far from free

178

but one day i think a month you can get there for free

179

and i did that and then you stole the paintings no no it was ages ago yeah

180

but it's funny jewels were stolen from from the louvre wow

181

and maria has just got a whole lot of new jewelry what a coincidence yeah rory you said um repositories

182

So.. a repository.

183

Oh, a repository is really just a place where you store things.

184

Usually a repository of knowledge,

185

but could be something else.

186

Yeah, like a repository or repository.

187

A place where things are stored and can be found.

188

So, for example, like, Rory is a repository of knowledge.

189

So, like, Rory stores knowledge.

190

He keeps all this knowledge inside his head.

191

And you can say that this is a very nice museum,

192

which is a repository of items connected to people, places, things.

193

Rory, what did you mean when you said museums are not the most important thing by a country mile?

194

Oh, if something happens by a country mile,

195

it's just like by a big distance.

196

So museums are not the most important thing.

197

Like, they're not even close to being the top of the list of most important things.

198

Is it an idea?

199

It might be.

200

Is it a C2 level idiom?

201

Well, the Cambridge-like dictionary doesn't say actually,

202

but they say country mile, mainly humorous.

203

It's like, ha ha.

204

If it doesn't say, then it must be C2.

205

And it means like a large amount in this context.

206

For example, the show was better than the last show by a country mile.

207

Like it was much better.

208

or for example like i missed my goal by a country mile

209

and museums are not the most important thing by a country mile

210

so it's like it really is not the most important thing in our life

211

but it just does add i don't know more color it

212

does they museums they add the knowledge they add the culture

213

to our life they add they develop our sense of connection to the past right to the present and future.

214

But you know what?

215

Like my favorite museum, I love the museum of Van Gogh.

216

But it's actually, it is a museum of Van Gogh in Amsterdam.

217

But you can call it an art gallery because you see paintings.

218

Van Gogh museum.

219

Love it.

220

And there you can see his masterpieces.

221

Yeah, dear listener, just Google a couple of museums that you like or you would like to visit,

222

for example, the Louvre, and read about them.

223

Write out maybe like three five words about the museums for example my favorite is van gogh museum

224

which contains his masterpieces masterpiece you know a nice word rory

225

are we ready for a joke i have a museum joke we've heard vocabulary now we need a joke

226

231

233

234

235

237

239

240

Sore meaning like pain.
