Its leaders and people will need to shape a new national narrative following the country’s exit from the European Union.

The museum wouldn’t be a building, but a series of travelling exhibits of artworks and inventions from around the world, organised by time period.

In essence, the museum would tell the story of our shared humanity. Continue reading...
