Exhibitions
Open House London at the Petrie Museum
Pop-up display: Press photography of Red Vienna, 1929–1938
A chance to find out more about the history of the building in Malet Place, which was once a horse hospital and is now home to the Petrie Collection. Follow a horse-themed trail around the museum and meet some equine friends.
Join us at UCL Art Museum for a pop-up display and discussion curated by Eva Branscome and Catalina Meija, researchers at the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture. They will present a series of anonymous photographs of Vienna created or used by the North American press that record a particularly volatile time.

Ramsay and the Nobel discovery
UCLoo Festival 2013
This year marks the centenary of the retirement of Sir William Ramsay, one-time head of UCL Chemistry and the discoverer of the Noble gases. UCL Chemistry Collections will celebrate by putting on a special pop-up, featuring the world’s ‘first’ neon sign and Ramsay’s original experimental tubes in action.
More than 2.6 billion people in developing countries do not have access to a safe toilet and flushing toilets use water, one of our most precious resources, to wash human waste away. The world needs a new toilet. UCLoo Festival will showcase the latest revolution in public health and sustainability.
