  • The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective
    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: An International Perspective Peter Morris Abstract: How has chemistry been presented at the Science Museum, London, during the 20 th century? After an overview of the history of the Science Muse- um and its chemistry galleries, four galleries are considered in depth (1906, 1926, 1977, and 1999). The importance of the curators’ external constituency of chemists and chemical educators is emphasized. The image of chemistry at the Science Museum has concentrated on the general utility of chemistry and chemistry as a skilful craft. The presentation has been low-key rather than boosterist. A comparison is made with the chemistry galleries at the Deutsches Museum. Chemistry in the Deutsches Museum has put more emphasis on hands-on exhibits and the chemical industry. Science and technology museums have promoted chemistry in a quiet but successful way for many years, but their influence may have waned along with chemistry kits. Keywords : presentation of chemistry in museums, chemistry collections, chemistry galleries, Science Museum, Deutsches Museum . 1. Introduction Before we examine the image of chemistry that has been presented by the Science Museum during the 20th century, it is worth asking if science and technology museums have any influence on the public’s perception of chem- istry. While the impact of museums is inevitably less than, say, the mass me- dia, they do attract large audiences: the Science Museum had 1.2 million visi- tors in the 1930s, a peak of 4.2 million visitors in 1980 and 2.6 million visitors in 2004.

  • A Study in the Selection and Interpretation of Themes from History of Science Scholarship for Museum Exhibition
    Knowledge transfer in action: a study in the selection and interpretation of themes from history of science scholarship for museum exhibition. Louise Elizabeth Thorn Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHOSTM) Imperial College London A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Diploma of Imperial College London Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as a Collaborative Doctoral Award in conjunction with the Science Museum, London May 2010 I hereby declare that except as specified in appropriate notes this dissertation is the result of my own independent research. Louise E. Thorn Total word count: 94,120 words Please note that I have recently married and will publish research resulting from this study under the name of Louise E. Devoy 2 Abstract Knowledge transfer in action: a study in the selection and interpretation of themes from history of science scholarship for museum exhibition. Over the past decade, curators and academic historians of science have called for greater inclusion of current scholarship within new exhibitions presented in science museums. Traditionally, such museums in the UK and abroad have presented a technical history of science based on their core collections of industrial machines, scientific instruments and laboratory apparatus. In contrast, historical scholarship over the past thirty years has diverged towards a more social narrative that considers ideas, personae and communities within a general historical context rather than technological and functional detail. In the past five years research councils in the UK have sought to increase the transfer of historical scholarship from academia into popular culture via the museum interface.

  • The Building of the State the Buildingucd and the Royal College of Scienceof on Merrionthe Street
    The Building of the State The BuildingUCD and the Royal College of Scienceof on Merrionthe Street. State UCD and the Royal College of Science on Merrion Street. The Building of the State Science and Engineering with Government on Merrion Street www.ucd.ie/merrionstreet Introduction Although the Government Buildings complex on Merrion Street is one of most important and most widely recognised buildings in Ireland, relatively few are aware of its role in the history of science and technology in the country. At the start of 2011, in preparation for the centenary of the opening of the building, UCD initiated a project seeking to research and record that role. As the work progressed, it became apparent that the story of science and engineering in the building from 1911 to 1989 mirrored in many ways the story of the country over that time, reflecting and supporting national priorities through world wars, the creation of an independent state and the development of a technology sector known and respected throughout the world. All those who worked or studied in the Royal College of Science for Ireland or UCD in Merrion Street – faculty and administrators, students and porters, technicians and librarians – played a part in this story. All those interviewed as part of this project recalled their days in the building with affection and pride. As chair of the committee that oversaw this project, and as a former Merrion Street student, I am delighted to present this publication as a record of UCD’s association with this great building. Professor Orla Feely University College Dublin Published by University College Dublin, 2011.

  • Architectural Tour of Exhibition Road and 'Albertopolis'
    ARCHITECTURAL TOUR OF EXHIBITION ROAD AND ‘ALBERTOPOLIS’ The area around Exhibition Road and the Albert Hall in Kensington is dominated by some of London’s most striking 19th- and 20th-century public buildings. This short walking tour is intended as an introduction to them. Originally this was an area of fields and market gardens flanking Hyde Park. In 1851, however, the Great Exhibition took place in the Crystal Palace on the edge of the park. It was a phenomenal success and in the late 1850s Exhibition Road was created in commemoration of the event. Other international exhibitions took place in 1862 and 1886 and although almost all the exhibition buildings have now vanished, the institutions that replaced them remain. Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, had a vision of an area devoted to the arts and sciences. ‘Albertopolis’, as it was dubbed, is evident today in the unique collection of colleges and museums in South Kensington. Begin at Exhibition Road entrance of the V&A: Spiral Building, V&A, Daniel Libeskind, 1996- The tour begins at the Exhibition Road entrance to the V&A, dominated now by a screen erected by Aston Webb in 1909 to mask the original boiler house yard beyond. Note the damage to the stonework, caused by a bomb during the Second World War and left as a memorial. Turn right to walk north up Exhibition Road, 50 yards on your right is the: Henry Cole Wing, V&A, Henry Scott with Henry Cole and Richard Redgrave, 1868-73 Henry Cole was the first director of the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A).
