Introduction

This is a ChemNet event for students aged 16-18. Join curators and learning staff at the Yorkshire Museum to find out why an understanding of chemistry is essential to caring for our internationally significant natural science collections. Take part in hands-on work to conserve our fossil collections and observe the results of chemical decay processes up close on a variety of specimens. See 'behind the scenes' - including an exclusive glimpse of historic chemistry volumes from the Museum's Library and find out more about careers in museums from the YM team.
