Welcome to the Hidden Treasure Trails on the 24 Hour Museum, exploring the hidden treasures of the People’s Museum TV series.

The BBC Two programmes in May 2006 explored the most fascinating objects on show at museums all over the country and asked viewers to vote for their favourites - what would they put on display in a museum?

The 24 Hour Museum is revisiting the featured venues and more, taking another look at at some of the amazing artefacts also featured in the People's Museum programme.

We have arranged them into region-by-region trails. There are so many museums, galleries and heritage sites in the south east that we have divided them into two trails - Oxford and the rest of the south east.
