The Royal Institution has been at the forefront of scientific innovation, discovery and communication since its founding in 1799. Illustrious figures associated with the Royal Institution include Humphry Davy, Michael Faraday and Ernest Rutherford.

In this latest addition to Scala’s Director’s Choice series, Katherine Mathieson shares some of her favourite aspects of the Royal Institution, including Faraday’s laboratory, books, pictures and objects. From its Grade 1-listed building in central London, the Royal Institution connects the public with scientists through talks, events and activities for people of all ages and backgrounds, including the famous Christmas Lectures. Founded by Michael Faraday, these lectures were an exciting new way of presenting science to young people and they continue today. This enjoyable, richly illustrated guide unlocks hidden histories of the Royal Institution and reveals how science transforms our lives.
