Churchill's Scientists - now open
We're excited to announce the launch of our free exhibition, marking the 50th anniversary of Winston Churchill's death, Churchill’s Scientists, tells the little-known story of how Churchill’s fascination with science led to the scientific achievements that helped Britain win the Second World War.

Discover how the power of science was harnessed during the war, from the recent invention of radar to Britain’s top secret research behind the first atomic bomb. These incredible events are brought to life through a rich array of significant historical objects, original film footage, letters and archive images.   Visit
