BROADCASTER, foodie and pasta supremo Loyd Grossman spiced up the launch of Museums and Galleries Month in York today.
The former BBC presenter, who is known for his distinctive accent and critical style, was visiting the National Railway Museum in his capacity of chairman for the Campaign For Museums.
During May, museums all over the country will be celebrating this year's theme, Travel And The Art Of Travelling. It includes the 200th anniversary of the first steam engine, which will be marked by the York Railfest and a series of events at the Yorkshire Museum.
Mr Grossman said: "This is a good time to take a trip away from home to explore museums and galleries further afield."
