The Cabinet of Curiosities is a major newIMAGES project highlighting the scientific links between Australia and Britain. It is the brainchild of Tim Sherratt, Deputy Director of the Australian Science Archives Project, was crafted from Australian timbers by Greg St John of the Canberra School of Art, and contains works commissioned from eight Australian artists, each of which represents the development of an active and innovative Australian scientific culture.
The cabinet is a unique blend of arts and sciences and presents a powerful and confronting view of how Australian science over the past 200 years is coming to terms with our unique continent. It is a unique gift from the people of Australia to the Royal Society in Britain and will also be a component of the major exhibition on biodiversity The Kaleidoscope of Life, which will tour Australia in 1997 as part of the newIMAGES program. |

Titterton made important contributions to the war effort in the development of radar and the atomic bomb.

Titterton remained an outspoken advocate of the use of nuclear energy throughout his career.
