Before the British Museum’: the Repository of the Royal Society
Jenni Thomas, Queen Mary, and Rupert Baker, Royal Society Library
A chance to take a guided tour of the Library's current exhibition, featuring fossils, lodestones and stuffed bird specimens from the Society's early museum. There will be short talks on how the collection began, Nehemiah Grew's influential catalogue, and the afterlife of the Repository following its transfer to the British Museum.
