Fascinated with natural philosophy since childhood, King George III became an avid collector of scientific instruments & even had his own private observatory. He was born #OnThisDay in 1738. Explore items from his collection in our Science City gallery 🔭 bit.ly/34KNUCB

It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
With more and more flowers and buds appearing everyday, we thought you might like to see one of our spring flowers- a marquetry daffodil on one of our clock cases #happyfriday #springiscoming
