Access to the Collections
The Collections of the Royal Institution include the original apparatus and papers of many of those who have researched, lectured and lived in the building including Humphry Davy, Michael Faraday, John Tyndall, James Dewar, William Bragg, Lawrence Bragg and George Porter. In addition the Royal Institution has important collections of iconographical material in various media, books, scientific instruments, historic furniture as well as a large administrative archive, covering all aspects of the work of the Royal Institution.
From January 2006, the Michael Faraday Museum and the Ri Archives are closed due to the major redevelopment of the building. The redevelopment will, for the first time, display the scientific apparatus made and used at the Ri from Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday, through John Tyndall, James Dewar, Henry and Lawrence Bragg to present day.
NOTE: Due to these redevelopments, researchers are strongly advised to use alternative resources in the meantime. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. For any queries, please use the contact us form
