I’m Emma, a student at University of Melbourne and I’m here at University of Birmingham
to study your vast collections – cultural collections. And at the Lapworth Museum of
Geology I’ve chosen this object here as the object of the month, and it’s Lapworth’s
microscope. He designed it and it was produced in Birmingham to study the graptolites. I’ve
selected this microscope for the object of the month because I really believe it highlights
the diversity of the collection and it reinserts Professor Lapworth and his assistants into
the museum narrative and just reminds us of his achievements.
