Braille 200

PhD researcher Tilly Guthrie highlights that this year marks not only 200 years of the railways, but also of the invention of Braille.

Although the NRM is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, its story actually goes back much further than 1975. In this blog post Dr. Oli Betts, Research Lead, and John Clarke, Assistant Curator, share stories from the museum’s past.
