Author Description

In 2011, UCL¿s Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy moved into the Thomas Lewis Room of UCL¿s Rockefeller Building. This book provides historical notes about the room, the building, and the wider university and medical school environment. The aim is to answer a range of basic questions visitors might have about the space and its history. An appendix identifies the ¿twelve apostles¿ of the old Medical School Library, once honoured by sculptures displayed along the room¿s balcony. This book contributes to the history of science and medicine at University College London (UCL) and University College Hospital (UCH).
