Nowadays, we take for granted strolling though a museum or cultural institution on a Sunday and marvelling at the exhibits and displays.  But things weren't always so. Join historian Sam Perrin for the extraordinary story of the National Sunday League, a Victorian organisation that fought for the opening of museums on Sundays for the cultural upliftment of the working classes.
