Come along on Sunday 15th November to visit a new exhibition at the Science Museum on how science shaped the origins of America! **About the exhibition** This year marked the 250th anniversary since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, This exhibition will uncover the science that shaped and was shaped by land, peoples and power towards the emergence of the United States. Through maps, paintings and extraordinary instruments and artefacts, this landmark exhibition reveals the scientific undercurrents running through a momentous period of history. Delve into four decisive decades from the 1760s to the first US presidency in the 1790s, when a range of peoples drew on diverse scientific knowledge to navigate, survive and cultivate the American landscape. We will see a rare surviving 1776 print of the Declaration of Independence and follow the stories of King George III and George Washington, figureheads of shifting national power across this tumultuous period. **Cost** The exhibition is free!
