The story of gold: ancient origins | Stories in Colour Podcast Gold Ep1 | National Gallery

💾

Welcome back to 'Stories in Colour'! And welcome to the first episode of our new miniseries in which we'll be telling the story of a rare, sparkling and glistening colour – or should we say material?

Join Nelly von Aderkas from the National Gallery’s Scientific department and host Beks as they dive into the ancient origins of gold! From colliding supernovas to the tomb of Tutankhamun and the man with the Midas touch, we will be exploring the materiality of gold, where this precious metal comes from and its symbolism in art and literature.

Nelly is a Specialist Scientist and Organic Analyst at the National Gallery with a background in paintings conservation.
