A film by Francis Whately, Ben McPherson, Martin Wilson and Nick Murphy

 

Why does our world look like it does? That great modern mystery is spectacularly unraveled in this international landmark series, an epic quest across five continents and 100,000 years - via some of the greatest treasures of the ancient world - to the heart of human creativity 

 

This is your invitation to see the world from an utterly new perspective. How Art Made the World reveals how the first big artistic discoveries were made and how they have cascaded down the centuries to define the look of the present day
