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!

On pp. 133 and 135 are rough pen-drawings of a furnace and an alembic. Dated 1755 on the first page. This MS. contains a remarkable collection of receipts and 'secrets' in medicine, alchemy and chemistry: it includes also a few magical processes, and receipts for varnishes and dyes, etc. The receipts on the last leaf of text are by a different hand.
