About Time: One Passion. A World of Histories
To celebrate 100 years of the History of Science Museum, Dr Sumner Braund — curator of the new Lewis Evans display ‘About Time’ — will give a talk to share her latest research findings.
She’ll explore the people behind these beautiful instruments, outline the myriad journeys the objects took before Lewis Evans acquired them, and reveal the fascinating histories at the heart of the Museum’s founding collection.
