Exhibitions on ‘Science’ and ‘Navigation’
Friday 27th March – Autumn 2026
Visitors to Ayscoughfee Hall Museum have the chance to explore the history of navigation from 1700 to the present day: from the search for an accurate way to measure longitude to modern OS mapping. In the Ambler Room, discover more about those early Society members whose experiments and discoveries in medicine, botany, optics and engineering helped shape our understanding of science and nature today. The exhibitions are accessible free of charge during Ayscoughfee Hall Museum’s normal opening hours of Wednesday to Sunday, between 10.30am and 4pm.
