Should there be a national museum of chemicals?

A Nature archive selection highlights the work of chemists and includes reflections marking 150 years of London Zoo. The selection is presented as a weekly pick from the Nature archive. The content includes material from earlier periods, including images and language that may be offensive or harmful by modern standards. A note indicates that the archive’s historical nature means it contains such elements. Readers are directed to information about the archive’s handling of offensive and harmful historical language and imagery.
