About The Royal Institution Faraday Exhibition

In our museum you can explore the world-changing science that's happened at the RI since 1799. The displays are spread across three floors of the RI building. In fact, wherever you go in the RI you'll see the instruments that have made science work for the last two centuries. The stuff of science is woven throughout our entire building.
The majority of the exhibition is located on the lower ground floor, where the theme is experimentation. From the odds and ends that became the first electrical transformer to the tube that told us why the sky is blue, you can see the actual objects that RI scientists built and used in some of the world's most famous experiments. You can also discover the key role that the RI has played in the development of the modern world. From the development of the thermos flask, to the device that saved the lives of countless miners we have the original scientific equipment used by RI scientists. The highlight of the exhibition is Faraday's magnetic laboratory as it was in the 1850s. Opposite this lab is the current state-of-the-art nanotechnology lab. On this floor you can also try your hand at our chemical elements game where you test your skills at spotting the 10 elements discovered at the RI as they appear in a fast-and-furious elements song.
