Quizeum functions subtly as a game show, more relaxed in tone. While the stakes may not be necessarily high in getting the answers right, the intellectual standards are top-shelf and often stump the panel, hosted by Griff Rhys Jones, to the point that audiences often reap the most benefits from this program. Highly educational and surprisingly laid-back, Quizeum is a delight to learn from.
Secondarily from the game show, Quizeum works as a panel-style show, offering insights not only from Jones but from the panel guests. Both seasons feature Jones’ appearance and appreciation for the very best museums in the United Kingdom and a new crew of guessers. Anyone interested in history, art, or ideally both will get the chance to learn from this series, not just about specific pieces of art but tidbits of trivia that are always fun to have in the back of one’s mind.
The Dove Take
While perhaps not as rousing for younger viewers, mature audiences will have good fun learning about art and history. Quizeum is approved for All Ages.
