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!

Correspondence between Wilkins and Stephen Mason, Professor of Chemistry, King’s College London, 1970-1988, including: copies of letters, 1955, concerning Mason’s left-wing political sympathies; a biographical account, ‘From science to history once again’, relating to Mason’s parallel interests in chemical research and the history of science, and additional biographical notes, including his personal record as a Fellow of the Royal Society; a note from Mason, 1991, enclosing background research material on the eighteenth century history of the Wilkins family. Typescript draft texts by Mason, 1994-1999, on the history of science, possibly for a planned revision of his <i>A history of the sciences</i> (Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, 1953).
