Exhibition: Christopher Wren: The quest for knowledge
This exhibition, new for 2023, explores the life and career of Sir Christopher Wren, scientist, mathematician and architect of St Paul's Cathedral.
It is 300 years since the death of Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), the revolutionary scientist, mathematician and architect who was responsible for building the St Paul’s Cathedral we know and love today.
To commemorate his remarkable life, our exhibition Sir Christopher Wren: The Quest for Knowledge will explore and reflect on the early life and career of Wren. The exhibition will chart his lesser-known achievements in mathematics, astronomy and physiology, as well as the design and building of his greatest monument, St Paul’s Cathedral.
With a wealth of material from our archives, discover these rich stories alongside drawings, photographs and treasures from our collection including remarkable historical objects personal to Wren himself.
This exhibition is included with Cathedral admission and can be found in the Crypt's North aisle.
