Letter: Letters : Centre that glitters

Published 1 June 1996

From Barry Moorshead, The Exploratory

Bristol

In “Caught in the goldrush” (11 May, p 14), Fred Pearce implied that RTZ
“ran” the Exploratory hands-on science centre in Bristol. This is incorrect. The
Exploratory is an independent educational charity dedicated to helping the
public understanding of science, particularly with children. We receive support
from many companies throughout Britain. RTZ sponsored our chemistry programme
from 1990 to 1993 and we are most grateful for their contribution to our work at
that time.
