Autumn Season Bragg walking tour

Meet at the Science Exchange.

We discovered the world of Sir William Henry Bragg and his son, Sir William Lawrence Bragg, with a guided tour of their Adelaide lives. The Bragg men are two of Australia’s most prestigious scientists, with their discoveries being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915. The duo are most famous for their groundbreaking work in the area of x-ray crystallography, and they spent significant parts of their lives living and working in Adelaide. Join us as we explore the Bragg story as part of About Time: South Australia’s History Festival.

In association with the University of Adelaide.

Free, but booking required.
