A virtual visit to Dr Frankensteins laboratory with Geissler Tubes, Bouquet Tubes, Railway Tubes, Jacob's Ladder, telegraph system, early x-ray tubes and many more crackling spark, electric flame laden demonstrations. Showing the education of the young Victorians, using many of the static accessories and rare artefacts, as used by them. We hope your visit here will prove interesting, stimulating and will give an insight into this largely extinct branch of science.

"I cannot add much that has not been said already. Well worth the visit. If you know nothing about the subject you will find it captivating, If you know it all already you will take pleasure in seeing the preserved equipment, still working. Aladin's cave has nothing on this!"
"It's difficult for an old crock like me but the sense of achievement is worth it. So is the view. And the ruined abbey is very interesting with helpful staff on hand. I'm glad we did it. "
