Find out how it has taught and hosted countless brilliant people, from Newton to Darwin, from Byron to Wordsworth, from John Alan Turing to Shu Zhimo, from John Fisher to Erasmus, from Christopher Marlowe to Monty Python...
Discover how a small 19th century building became the high temple of the world's science a hundred and fifty years ago. Hear the story of Yoyo the Bear, of Elizabeth de Clare, who was three times a wiow at the age of 26, and find out what happened when Cromwell got hold of Humpty Dumpty!
See the evidence of a harrowing ghost story in one of the city's oldest pubs, where scientists announced the discovery of DNA!
