Faraday Museum at The Royal Institution

It is a small museum located in Mayfair; however, it is not easy to find - my advice is to look for The Royal Institution instead, as the Faraday Museum is on the lower ground floor of this building.This is one of those places that needs to be combined with other tourist attractions or if you are in the area; or if you are indeed a far of Michael Faraday as the collection is not big but you will get to see Faraday’s old lab.I just wish the museum is a bit more interactive and engaging as I didn’t find it stimulating enough; however, it is also part of the Young Scientist Centre – a space for young people and their teachers to experiment science and technology; so that is an excellent initiative.

Free exhibit which opens up some of the rooms at the Royal Institution. Highlights were Faraday's lab and some of the equipment used by Davy. There is a cafe, too. On my visit, I also got to visit the Lecture Theatre used for the Christmas Lectures.

This museum was so interesting! Free first of all, always a perk. If you were a stem student, it's kind of magical to see the equipment that the heros of science you learn about in school used! Faraday's lab of course was the highlight. Wow. This is one of the only museums I've ever been to where I actually wish that there was a better giftshop! There are such wonderful paintings of scientific equipment and the lab - I was really hoping that I could buy a postcard of any of these! Maybe something to think about? I'd even buy one online! Loved the watercolor of his lab - would be very cool decor for anyone in stem!

The museum's commitment to innovation is showcased through its use of virtual reality technology, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in art's narrative.

The equipments used by faraday and some other scientist are displayed in This museumNo any charges or tickets to enter This valuble museum. A great scientist of planet earth with only 3 years of school education. All schools should make his life as a text book .

An interesting little (and free!) museum tucked away in the West End. Occupying the basement, it displays original instruments used by Faraday, Davey and other scientific pioneers to understand light, heat and electromagnetism among other phenomena. Accessible and interesting for both science and history of science fans, you can also take a look at the (beautifully updated) theatre where Faraday and his peers would have given lectures.

A cool and free museum in the basement of the Royal Institute. A must for any science lovers.

Fun, free little museum in the royal institute. They have a couple fun things for kids to see. A bunch of artifacts on display from Faraday and others. Plaques describe the artifacts and meaning to the scientific community. Michael Faraday's lab is left intact and on display. The staff was friendly. The location was clean. The amenities were nice. It's a fun little experience for an hour or so.

Go and see where many exciting discoveries originated. See the first safety latern for miners, the origins of electricity and even the thermos flask. Great building and fantastic lecture theatre as seen on 'The Christmas Lectures'! Forgot to add the periodic table wall, have a go trying to remember as many as you can with the help of a natty tune you'll be humming all day.
