First Friday: Science and Survival

Join us for the opening of our outdoor exhibition, Science and Survival, featuring a talk by curator Jocelyn McDaniel at 6pm.

Some Holocaust stories may never be known. Trauma and loss prevent many from ever being told. The Papers of Georg and Max Bredig, some of which will be on display at the event, help give voice to these silent memories.

Drawn from the collection of correspondence from the father and son chemists who were of Jewish descent, Science and Survival reveals the Bredig family’s struggle to survive the horrors of the Nazi regime.

At this month’s First Friday, you’ll have a chance to

- Write your own postcard using images from the Bredig collection
- Try a scavenger hunt on the theme of unknown figures in science
- Explore unique objects and stories from our museum and library collections
