Visit the unique Elements Gallery, the only one of its kind anywhere in Europe, to see for yourself what each element looks like, and discover how some of the most unfamiliar elements turn up in some of the most everyday objects. A gallery booklet will lead visitors from the Periodic Table display through a series of familiar themes. Discover which element was the scourge of hat makers but made better hats, which element is rare on Earth but more common in Meteorites, or which element was important for stone age tools but is now vital for electronics.
