Continuing our series, ‘In the Library with …’, join the Cathedral Librarian for a unique opportunity to experience Robert Hooke’s scientific best-seller, Micrographia.
An experimental scientist and member of the Royal Society, Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was fascinated by optical devices that revealed the unseen world, from the miniscule to the infinite. Published in 1665, Micrographia was the first book to depict magnified insects and plants observed through a microscope.
This is a small group workshop; booking is essential.
