Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Many sheets of notes (holograph) recording Crick's repeated attempts to read (or 'break') the genetic code, employing a number of de-coding strategies.  [1953-1954]

Included within the loose sheets - left as found - is a reprinted paper:  K Bailey, "Some features of the amino-acid composition of proteins," <i>Chemistry and Industry</i> (1950), 243-5.

Note: the order of the sheets (most of which are not numbered) is as found.  Where sheets are fastened with a brass paper-clip, there was a (rusting) original paperclip.
