The BPS-supported exhibition, Mind Maps: Stories from Psychology, at the Science Museum in London closes this Sunday (19 October). The exhibition opened in December 2013 and has attracted over 600,000 visitors.

Professor Dorothy Miell, President of the British Psychological Society, said: “We are delighted that this exhibition proved so popular. In particular, we were pleased that it ran throughout the summer holidays to help introduce many young people to the fascinating world of psychology.”

Divided into four episodes between 1780 and 2014, the exhibition looks at key breakthroughs in scientists’ understanding of psychological wellbeing. It also looks at the tools and methods of assessment and treatment that have been developed from Mesmerism to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to recent advances in understanding brain function and activity. The exhibition is illustrated through a rich display of objects from the Museum’s world-class medical collections as well as artworks and archive images.
