Omnibus 1

Available for over a year

Sir Ian Blatchford, Director of the Science Museum Group, and the Science Museum’s Head of Collections, Dr Tilly Blyth, with their first omnibus edition in which they draw upon key works of art along with objects from the Science Museum Group's collection to explore how art and science have inspired each other in an age of Romance. Along the way: the impact of an Enlightenment view of the cosmos; shaping the first impressions of the Industrial Revolution; the power of satire as science gains respectability; seeking truth to nature in the golden age of landscape painting; the anxieties of rapid progress in a new age of steam and speed. Producer Adrian Washbourne Produced in partnership with The Science Museum Group Readers: Shaun Mason, Katherine Cusack, Sean Baker. Music composed by Mark Russell
