About
Think you can spot a fake? Put your detective skills to the test in our new exhibition, The Art of Deception, all about the curious world of fake scientific instruments. Take the quiz, then head to the learning gallery to get hands-on with replica instruments (not fakes — we promise!). Discover illustrations used by notorious instrument forger Lloyd Evan Williams and see if you can use them to design your own convincing creations.
This is a drop-in event, so come and go as you please.
There will be short talks about the handling objects at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm if you’d like to find out more.
