Auctions, eBay, antique fairs and instrument dealers: how a private collection has become part of the Museum.
A conversation with collector Ron Bristow, who has donated a painstakingly assembled group of instruments to complement the Museum’s existing Elliott Brothers archive. The Elliott Brothers were an innovative British firm founded in the mid-19th century, who produced instruments for navigation, calculating, telegraphy, optics, and mechanical and electrical engineering, for clients including the British Admiralty and War Office and the East India Company.
Doors open at 18:30.
Part of the programme of events for the Museum’s new entrance gallery exhibition: New Acquisitions (Open 19 January 2016)
