'The Royal Society: 350 Years of Science'

As part of the Royal Society's 350th Anniversary celebrations, our new exhibition "The Royal Society: 350 Years of Science" will take you on a journey through the Royal Society's beautiful buildings on Carlton House Terrace and through the varied and fascinating history of the Society, encountering major scientific personalities and discoveries along the way.

The exhibition is now closed.

Exhibition catalogues are still available, with colour images of most exhibits accompanied by explanatory text and an overview of the Society's archival, print and artefact collections.
