history of science

Some of the wonderful things on display at the Museum of the History of Science. Most of these were down in the undercroft where dissections and chemical experiments used to take place.

Cue evil laugh - Mwa ha ha ha!

astrolabe
apothecary jars

microscopes

As part of the Steampunk exhibition, they had an activity going on for the children which looked quite fun. They had printed out photos of some of the historical gadgets on display. Then you could take the images and chop and add them together in various ways to make up a design for your own Steampunk gadgets! What fun!

I have some photos to show tomorrow for Inspiration Monday. But, I am saving some for my own design inspiration!
