Join Dr Julia Clayton as she explores a fascinating episode in the history of archaeology, which helped to transform Liverpool into the city we see today.
In 1810 John Foster Junior, a young architect from Liverpool, embarked on a Grand Tour of the Ottoman Empire. During the six years he was away, he made a series of archaeological discoveries which revolutionised our knowledge of Greek art and architecture, raising questions which we're still trying to answer.
However, Foster's legacy doesn't end there, as when he returned home he used his knowledge of Greek architecture to transform his home city, creating a series of impressive Neoclassical buildings which helped to put Liverpool on the architectural map.
