Who
See if you can spot the forgeries in our new exhibition, "The Art of Deception", all about making fake scientific instruments. Take the quiz, then head to the learning gallery for a chance to handle replica instruments (not fakes because we're being honest about them!). Explore illustrations used by instrument forger Lloyd Evan Williams and see if you can use them to create your own convincing designs.
This is a drop in event, there will be a short talk about the handling objects at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm but you are welcome to arrive or leave at any time.
