This permanent exhibition is definitely worth a visit. Not only does it include information on famous minds (such as Charles Sir Walter Scott, Darwin, and David Livingstone– to name a few) but it is highly interactive. This allows one to absorb the information that sparks your interest. For some entertainment and a brush-​up on your general knowledge the John Murray Archive makes the list of things to see and do. One of the highlights of the archive includes authentic letters of correspondence written by or to some of the featured famous minds. Anyone can enter and there is no admission charge.
