History of the Chemistry Set

If a chemistry set influenced your interest in science, then you'll be happy to learn about the largest public collection of chemistry sets, which is housed by the Chemical Heritage Foundation. With about 150 chemistry sets from around the world, the collection aims to document this influential toy's growth. You can hear more about the chemistry set's history here in a video from curator Rosie Cook.  

You can also see images of vintage chemistry sets from the collection on the CHF site, and you might also enjoy listening to this podcast about the chemistry set.
