Changing perspectives and viewpoints, looking into a microscope or a telescope, mapping the world and the heavens on a round-shaped globe, walking up the Monument or stepping into a hot-air balloon… In a nutshell, discovering the city from new angles. This is what our LearnArtory guide Muriel Carré is inviting us to do during this tour of “Science City 1550 – 1800” at the Science Museum. Between the reign of the Tudors and the Age of Enlightenment, London underwent a radical change.
The capital of the kingdom, the major centre of government and monarchy, a huge port and commercial hub, London still had no university, but the greatest scientific minds met there and revolutionised science!
Come and meet the main protagonists of this major and profound movement: scientists, inventors, “natural philosophers”, skilled craftsmen, monarchs and noblemen who all shared an insatiable thirst for knowledge and discovery.
