Polish classes are more and more in demand and as a result, children’s radio station Fun Kids is following up its popular first series of Learn Polish with 10 new episodes and 20 bespoke videos. The content is aired live and is also available on You Tube. Anna Godlewska, director at the Polish Cultural Institute in London, said: ‘We were positively surprised about the popularity of the first season of Learn Polish! and decided to build up on this success with more episodes as well as colourful videos that will add a visual aspect to the learning experience. We are delighted to be working with Polish illustrator Tomasz Smojlik, who created a series of eye-catching cartoons for the 20 videos.’ Find out more at funkidslive.com.

The exhibition explores the untold history of the enormous influence of early scientific photography on photography in modern and contemporary art. This remarkably original show examines how subsequent generations of photographers have recognised, developed, celebrated and critiqued the incredible aesthetics that resulted from those early experiments. The show opens on March 20 and runs until September 13, 2015, Media Space, Science Museum, London. Media Space is a major new photography destination, presenting a programme of world-quality exhibitions, commissions and events for national and international audiences and celebrating the Science Museum Group’s unrivalled National Photography Collection.
