Thomas Browne and the Scientific Revolution of the 17th Century
Physician, author, natural historian, collector, and Old Wykehamist, Thomas Browne (1605-82) was an extraordinary figure. Through his curious approach to the world, he contributed to an intellectual community that forged a revolution in scientific thought.
Last term an exhibition curated by the boys, and dedicated to his life, was due to open in the Treasury. This was delayed. However, a new online exhibition allows visitors to explore the work of Thomas Browne in more depth. The school has recently announced that the Treasury is now open until 28 August, Monday to Friday, from 2 - 4pm. No booking is required and safety measures are in place. The online exhibition will complement the experience of those who are also able to visit, or indeed provide a substiute for those who are not! Further information can be found here.
