Ancient Greeks: Science and Wisdom review – a show from the dark ages

Science Museum, London A chance to teach us about history’s greatest thinkers goes shamefully wasted in this dumbed-down science exhibition On my way into the Science Museum I overhear someone say that they prefer the Natural History Museum next door.

The playgrounds are popular, the galleries often empty. Surely there must be a middle way. This foray into ancient Greek culture fails to find it. An exhibition about ancient Greece at the Science Museum sounded like a chance to discover who renowned ancient Greek scientists such as Anaxagoras, Pythagoras, Democritus, Aristotle, Euclid and Archimedes really were, to find out what they thought and why.
