"The Museum of Curiosity", formerly titled "The Professor of Curiosity", is a comedy talk show on BBC Radio 4 that was the first broadcast on 20 February 2008. It is hosted by John Lloyd (Professor of Ignorance at the University of Buckingham, and later at Southampton Solent University). He acts as the head of the (fictional) titular museum, while a panel of three guests (typically a comedian, an author and an academic) each donate to the museum an 'object' that fascinates them. The radio medium ensures that the suggested exhibits can be absolutely anything, limited only by the guests' imaginations.

The programme has often been compared to the television panel game "QI". Both were co-created by Lloyd, several of the Museum's 'curators' and comic guests have appeared regularly on "QI", and the QI Elves (QI's research team, who provide hosts Stephen Fry and Sandi Toksvig with live information as required during the programme) provide the research. As a result, some critics consider the radio show to be a spin-off of the TV programme.
