Is "Masterpieces of the British Museum" cancelled?
From the BBC Four, I can see that the last episode of Masterpieces of the British Museum was aired in 2009. In the "Next episode" it says "Coming soon".
IMDb has the ending year void yet, like it is still ongoing. However, we are ten years after the 4th episode.
Are the rest two episodes going to be aired, or is it cancelled?
Best Answer
While I can't find any evidence that the show wasn't cancelled, I also can't find any evidence that it was. The two episodes not listed on the BBC website ("Dürer's Rhinoceros" and "The Aztec Double-Headed Serpent") both definitely exist - they're available in the show's DVD box set and IMDb lists them as having aired in July 2006 - there's no precise air date, but also no indication that they didn't air. (Incidentally, other sources claim a 2009 air date.)
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence - I believe the most likely answer that the series did air to completion, but nobody bothered to update the BBC or IMDb websites. It hardly seems like the kind of show that would have had rabid followers frantically updating its IMDb/Wikipedia/TV Tropes pages after every episode came out (in fact, it doesn't even have Wikipedia or TV Tropes pages!)
