The Museum’s Collections pertaining to the Periodic Table are predominantly composed of graphic representations, samples of chemical elements and a variety of memorabilia. The collection’s depiction of the modern periodic table, through Science Kits, Classroom Diagrams and Educational Games, trace the table’s progression of standardization within the classroom. The lists here are a sampling of the museum’s holdings and are in no way comprehensive of the entire periodic table collection areas. Please reference the Digital Collection and museum exhibits to find other examples.
