Visit to the Royal Institution  of Great Britain on Wednesday 1st. February 2012

The Royal Institution was founded in March 1799 with the aim of introducing new technologies and teaching science to the general public. It moved to its current premises a few months later and has been there ever since. Many important scientific discoveries of the last two centuries have been made here. It has also been the home of famous scientists, such as Michael Faraday, who have helped shape the modern world. The collections include original apparatus and papers of many of those who have researched,
lectured and lived in the building. Since 1825 it has also been the home of the famous Christmas lectures for adults and children.

The tour will last 1½ to 2 hours and will include the Faraday Museum, opened in 1973. The cost is £10.50 per person which includes tea/coffee and cake at the end of the tour. As numbers are limited please book early.
